i left my heart in SF

Towards the end of my stay I had come to learn of a beach that I had yet to wander upon, Baker Beach.  I had seen the Golden Gate Bridge from many different views but not from this one.  It was a warm day and my last stop of the day was Baker Beach.  First arriving to the beach I was a little disappointed that it took me four months to know of this beach and visit.  I wish I had known of it before so that my visitors could have too been able to experience the beauty of this destination.  The best in this case was saved for last as I thought maybe I was not meant to go there  until when I did.  The sand was squishy in between my toes as I walked the distance of the shore.  To my right was the bridge and yet in a way I hadn't seen it before, much smaller and not as bold as my previous ganders of it.  I liked the bridge view this way, blended in with the scenario as if it was meant to be there all along.  I stayed until sunset in which would be one of my last for this stay in SF.

I spent some of my last days doing one of my favorite activities and that was taking a blanket, book and iPod to Washington Square which was a small park located in little Italy a short walk for me up a steep hill. Of course I stopped at La Boulange for my cup of coffee grabbing some cookies from a nearby bakery.  At this park I did a lot of people watching and learned from them.  It was not uncommon to see friends gathering there with their cheese and wine while playing ladder ball, they were really enjoying life, the beauty of living in simplicity.  I only wish that I would have made more of an effort to get to know more people, I tend to be a little shy when it comes to starting up a conversation but once I do I am quite comfortable to speak.

The city was my first exposure to a mass quantity of homeless people.  There was this one girl who had an appearance that was so inhumane it was hard to look at her.  It made me appreciate the life that I have and to be thankful for opportunities and the future that I get to live.  

At the end of my stay I was ready to head back to Utah as I missed having the view of the mountains in my life.  However San Francisco changed me forever and I would like to go back in the future either

 to live or for a visit.  Until we meet again frisco...
