Taking it to the Streets

Today I headed to Fisherman's Wharf to explore all the streets that make SF famous.  It was a rough start to the morning because I initially intended to take the BART down to Union square to catch a cable car.  After walking in a big 3 mile circle I did not feel comfortable taking the BART.  In the area of 24th and Mission where the closest BART line was it was a 'ghetto' neighborhood and honestly smelled liked urine everywhere.  I ended up walking all the way back to Dolores Park and catching and Uber pool to the cable car line.  This ended up working out better because the Uber driver gave me some tips on how to plan out the rest of my day.  It was about an hour wait to get on the cable car which was well worth it because it was about a 15 minute ride to Lombard St. where I then hiked up to the "crooked" street.  Man the hike uphill was pretty intense, I felt like I was back in Yellowstone!  I remember Chris and I drove down the "crooked" street but I think it was better to walk it.  After that I walked to Telegraph Hill and took an elevator ride up Coit Tower to get a very foggy view of the whole city and the Golden Gate Bridge.

After Coit Tower, I walked down to Fisherman's Wharf and had a delicious wild Alaskan halibut lunch at Scoma's on the Pier.  I can't believe it's already Wednesday!  There is so much more to see and do!!  I decided to take the bus to the Western Addition to see the Painted Ladies, the Full House, and Mrs. Doubtfire house.  I couldn't believe the Full House location.  All the years that show was on the air and never once did they address the fact that these three girls grew up in a major city!  They made it seem like they lived in suburbia.  I must confess I watch all the episodes of Fuller House.  It was pretty corny but of course for me I appreciated that DJ was able to begin to rebuild her life again after her husband died.  Of course it seemed all too easy and she had multiple men pining after her but I am glad at the end she turned down both of them because she wanted to focus on herself and her  sons.

Song of the day "Takin' it to the Streets" The Doobie Brothers.  Today I literally took it to the streets all day day long and it was quite a workout!  Up and down.  I don't know how people go jogging around here I was struggling just walking.  I did have some Jersey natives from Medford at one point say, "She is used to this she lives here" as I powered up the hill.  I said, "Nope.  I am from Jersey, flat as could be."  And it turned out so were they...haha...aroooo woooo!!!!
