We started the day off by sliding down to the muni subway. Well, one of us did. It turned out there were some technical problems between Castro and Van Ness, so we turned tail and headed for the historic F trains on Market, instead.

I'm not sure where this gallery will go eventually, but we recently started exploring our gorgeous city. There are so many wonderful pieces of forgotten history around here!

This gallery is dedicated to our stairway hike around Yerba Buena Cove and Telegraph Hill. More to come as soon as I get a chance.

We are so unbelievably lucky to be able to follow our dreams and live here, even for a short time. I am so grateful for this, and to have such a willing partner.

schmoo > Trav skims the first chapter to see what's in store for us.

schmoo > It took a while to get to our stop, but we started at 1st and Market.

schmoo > Skyscrapers. I don't know all the names and I don't really care too much, but I always think that "Downtown" San Francisco looks like something out of Batman.

schmoo > I had no idea that the majority of the eastern part of the city didn't really exist until fairly recently!

schmoo > Part of the Art Deco facade of the Shell building.

schmoo > The narrowest building in San Francisco. 130 Bush St. It is supposedly only three steps into the elevator.

schmoo > Urban jumble. I love the midday fog that even the bright sun doesn't lift.

schmoo > The book guides us through some really interesting local histories!

schmoo > A little street, Leidesdorff St. The guy it's named after was a prosperous sugar, fur businessman. He makes us feel like lazy slackers for never having built a single hotel before we're 36.

schmoo > Reflection of the Transamerica Pyramid.

schmoo > I had no idea there was a redwood grove in the middle of the city!

schmoo > Fascinating that where we were standing used to be where a ship was docked.
