Mission Day and Biking in Golden Gate Park

For those of you who know me really well, you know I love some nice street art.  This weekend I spend Saturday in the Mission District.  Its so full of color and energy and the food is great.  

Sunday I rented a bike and went through the Golden Gate Park.  

Some highlights from the weekend include:

  • The Woman's Building in the Mission District - It has this beautiful mural painted all over the building
  • Misión San Francisco de Asís - The oldest surviving structure in SF
  • Food in the Mission District - I basically ate my way through the district, starting with a latte from Stonemill Matcha, a burrito from Senor Sisig, and ice cream from Bi-Rite Creamery - I recommend it all
  • Golden Gate Park - Everything is great in the park and its completely worth spending a day taking it all in

San Francisco Final Thoughts (1/5/21 - 2/12/21)

Image
I'm at the airport on the way to my next destination, thinking about the amazing time I had in San Francisco.   Livability for me: 99%, it loses 1% because its so damn expensive, feels even a bit more expensive than NYC to me.  I'm sure I'll be back and could easily see myself making it a permanent home. Off to destination #2 now! A few final San Francisco pictures that didn’t make it in the other posts. Grace Cathedral Palace of Fine Arts Final visit to the Marina area to see the Golden Gate Bridge

Road trippin' to Seattle

Image
I decided driving would make the most sense for Portland to Seattle since I can make stops along the way and take my time.  Its only about a 3 hour drive, and I love long drives like that.  My goal was to leave in the am and reach Seattle before the car rental place closed so I didn't need to deal with parking.  I'm so thankful I drove, I was able to see some really nice sites that I wouldn't have stopped at otherwise.   Highlights:  Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge - Such a cool spot to stop and I'm really happy I came.  You can hike and walk around here in the summer.  During the winter you can take a car around the refuge and do tours.  There are all these different birds and nature sounds.  Lots of people with professional cameras were taking pictures.  I was able to see some really different birds and deer roaming around.  It was a really beautiful place to see and a recommended stop between Portland and Seattle.
