    It was foggy and wet yet again this morning.  Hooray!  Just what I wanted.  I headed off Corbett to Portola to Woodside to Dewey to Taravel and down to the coast.  I came down the Great Highway and stopped at the foot of Sloat for a pic.  It was foggy but not too cold at the beach:

    I took Sloat to Skyline to Lake Merced to Font to Holloway to Harold to Ocean to Phelan to Judson to Foerster to Hearst to Edna to Monterey.  For the first time ever, I took the ramp from Monterey to San Jose rather than cutting through Glen Park and it saved me a lot of time although there isn't much shoulder on the ramp and I don't know how I would feel about it in a lot of traffic.  I took San Jose to Duncan to Valencia to 17th.  Although I'm not completely behind the color scheme, I love this glamorous Victorian on South Van Ness at 17th.  It's sadly next door to a gas station but what can you do??

    Love the detail:

    I continued on 17th to Kansas into Townsend.  This is the fabulous new bike lane on Townsend:

    I continued on Townsend.  This is the pretty building at 4th and Townsend with Safeway on the 1st floor.  It would be a nice building to live in when I'm older.  Because old people like to go to the grocery store every day. 

    I continued on Townsend to 2nd to Market to Sansome and into work.
