Monday was walk2werq Monday. I didn’t have any trouble getting up early because I’d gone to bed the previous evening at an eyebrow raising 7PM. Don’t judge. I didn’t really have a plan for walking when I got up but one of the guys I’d been hiking with the day before asked where Divisadero ended so with that in mind I walked the entire length of it from where it turns into Castro at Waller all the way into the Marina. Divisadero’s got a LOT of variety on it from this:
To this all within a couple of blocks:
I hadn’t spent a lot of time on Divisadero between Geary and California. There’s a ton of restaurants there some and I think it warrants another visit. I started heading into Pacific Heights and saw this glorious building at Washington. Love it:
Gold coast Divisadero:
Heading down into the Marina:
I reached the end of Divisadero and realized that the Palace of Fine Arts was only a couple of blocks away. So I headed over there. I’d beaten the first tour bus and pretty much had the place to myself:
I was running late so I headed over to Whole Foods on California and then up over Nob Hill into work. I saw this intersection as I headed into Chinatown. It challenged my concepts of time and space:
I continued down Sacramento into work. I headed home for lunch and then went to a spin class after work. I like a little walk after a spin class so usually on Mondays I walk to Powell muni station. I stopped by Barney on the way because I’m already conducting reconnaissance for the Love Yourself beauty event next month. I went to the Le Labo counter to sample Rose 31 which is billed as a unisex rose fragrance and maybe it is for some but on my skin it seemed way too syrupy sweet. Didn’t like. I headed home and had dinner and then went to bed. Long day.
