  • Tuesday, September 18

    I didn't have a whole lot of time after work so I rode up Columbus into Fishermans Wharf and then into Fort Mason.  These two Pomeranians were out for a stroll and have clearly had it with all the paparazzi:

    I made my way over to Fillmore street and started heading south.  Here is the ginormous hill going out of the Marina:

    Here I am looking delighted to be climbing it:

    This is from Vallejo looking back into the Marina:

    This is the hill I still have in front of me:

    This is a Vedantic Society of Norther California founded in 1900.  You can read more about it here and here. 

    This is the view from Broadway looking back at the Marina:

    I continued down Fillmore into the shopping area:

    This great building with the neat curved facade is really hard to photgraph will all the wires:

    Shu Uemura:  temple to pretty:

    I headed crossed Geary and went through the project-y part of Fillmore which is becoming gentrified and increasingly Korean which is really nice but there was still no shortage of sketchy dudes on the street as I went by. I continued up to the former Sacred Heart Church which has been decomissioned.  The school is still used but the chuch is empty I think. 

    Fillmore Street ends at Duboce St.  This beautiful apartment building is at Fillmore and Duboce:

    and the detail:

    Then I headed home to walk dogs.  Jeff wasn't home when I got home and Mimi really wanted to go so I took both of them for a very long walk instead of taking Rufus to the dog park and then both of them for a short walk. Rufus was ill behaved but he's getting better.  It's just that so many things are so interesting and potentially delicious.  Then I went home for dinner and then I went to bed.  Total Bike mileage:  28
