Holly Park and Happy Wedding Bliss



Well, it's many months later, october 1st to be exact. We are out here for Jay and Lindsey's wedding. We are still on a high from a wonderful, magical time, but that is another story. The rehearsal dinner was sept. 25th, the wedding sept. 26th, and a typical Jason party on the 27th. Dan and I took the couple to the airport on the 29th, and today is the 30th, which i mention because it's Dan's birthday. So, we celebrated by finding a stairway walk!
i didn't have my trusted book with me, so i had to google a walk, and i chose Bernal Heights. It wasn't the area i thought it was, but that's all the more fun. It is near the Mission, a working class neighborhood that is clean, sunny, old and beautiful. We found Holly Park, where the walk goes in a large circle, and from every part of the walk you can see the whole city and beyond! It was wonderful. We then found some stairways, and even a slide! (which of course, i had to go down, though i got stuck near the bottom) The names of these streets are unique---Esmeralda and Lundys, just to name a few.
i walked up a few more stairways, Dan's foot is hurting him, but i was so happy to be back to the finding of the stairways. Again, it's the things like the neighborhoods, the names of the streets, the views, and all that goes along with the search.
Holly Park is a little gem, by the way.
