Monday was ‘walk to work monday’ again and its become one of my favoritest things. I started off by heading up Corbett and then up the pretty Pemberton Steps. They completely redid two thirds of the steps a couple of years ago but left the last bit which I think is the prettiest:
I made my way up to Mountain Spring and I saw this guy on a MOUNTAIN BIKE grunting his way up the hill. Yikes! It’s gotta be a 20% grade. He eventually pulled into his driveway and his dog looked at me suspiciously as I passed:
This is the view from Palo Alto Avenue:
Nestled in between Laguna Honda Hospital, Juvie, and Twin Peaks is this fantastic mid century neighborhood called Midtown Terrace that I love to walk through. The views west and south are spectacular when the weather is cooperative. The houses haven’t been massively expanded like other neighborhoods and you really get a feel for the way it looked when it was built. I don’t know that I want to live there because of fog and transportation issues but I love walking through. This is the view from Panoramic:
I made my way over to pretty Juanita which is in Miraloma Park. It’s bungalowalicious:
From there I walked through the Sherwood Forest neighborhood which had massive homes that dwarf the ones down the hill in St Francis Wood. Then I walked down Yerba Buena and saw this fabulous place surrounded by enormous trees:
This is the view looking south from Yerba Buena and Monterey:
This is the Miramar entrance to Westwood Park. It’s a super cute neighborhood and I love this entrance:
I headed down to Ocean and went to Whole Foods for donuts. After I got on BART at Balboa park and went to work. I headed home for lunch and then went to a spin class after work which thoroughly kicked my ass. After that I went home and had dinner and went to bed. I was completely beat.
