San Francisco my love
Sightseeing
I’m mostly listing destinations that are walking distance from my place or easily accessible by public transportation. I mention a couple of my favorite spots that are a little farther away.
Walkable (about 9 minutes). One more of our neighborhood’s tiled steps, located not far from Hidden Garden Steps. These steps are another amazing piece of collaborative neighborhood art. There is a tile celebrating our son Nicholas, can you find it?

Walkable (about 15 minutes) Spectacular views and amazing mosaic by local artist funded by the neighborhood residents, it’s one of the secret gems of San Francisco although lately it’s getting more popular with tourists. One of the tiles is celebrating Dasha, can you find it?

May need to do a ride share or drive to this one. Many locals don’t even know about this place! Try to go on a sunny day (if you’re lucky) This is a cool place to take photos with the city of San Francisco and Golden Gate Bridge as a backdrop. Also watch dudes on wing foils fly across the Bay as if it’s easy!
Wave organ doesn’t really work as intended, so don’t expect any heavenly music but listening to the waves is pretty awesome anyway. You may see a sea lion or two and many gorgeous yachts.

May need to do a ride share or drive to this one. The most beautiful trail starts here called Lands End. The views are breathtaking. It could be a bit crowded on a nice weekend day, it’s a popular destination with locals as well as tourists.

A favorite with the locals, this bakery is a worker-owned co-op. Fresh baked goods every day and pizza by the slice. There’s usually a line in front of it but it moves fast.
