  • Thursday, May 10

    Foggy morning.  Finally.  Rode my usual route out to Ocean Beach.  I've been doing this route a lot this season, and I'm starting to see a lot of the same people.  I see these two out jogging a lot:

    A lot of time they have her husband riding behind them on a bike.  She's a fast jogger too and that tiny little dog totally hauls ass.  I talked to them once and they said she'd jogged fifteen miles the previous weekend.  Compare that to my Mimi who's idea of exercise is chewing.  I went up to the Palace of the Legion of Honor and then down Lake to Arguello to Golden Gate which stops and starts all over Lone Mountain before continuing down to Market.  I took these pictures of pretty St. Boniface in the Tenderloin:

    It seems a little German to me which is unusual San Francisco.  It's hard to photograph as it sits pretty close to the street and is protected by a fortress like series of gates in front of the lot.

    I went home for lunch which was pretty uneventful and then went for a ride after work before class.  I went down Geary where I took these pics of the gorgeous ACT theatre:

    Very detailed polychrome plasterwork all over the facade.  It's garishly lush.  Then I took Pacific to Steiner to Clay to Arguello and into the park which is still blooming everywhere you look:

    And then 9th Ave to Lawton to 16th Ave to Vicente to Ocean Beach and then down to Lake Merced  There were some teams rowing on the lake:

    That looks so much fun.  Maybe someday when I do my activities expand beyond biking, working, eating, and sleeping I might try it.  

    I had a quiz so I headed over to class and then home for dinner.  Total mileage: 42
