10:00. Every city, every place I suppose, has its own rhythm. Learning to flow with the dance in the streets takes time. I’m up very late this morning.

Walking in the footsteps of ghosts.
I must admit that I had no idea of the size of Golden Gate Park nor of its history when I first came to wander in it unexpectedly…My preference for exploring any place on foot, without a map or a guide book, keeps me alert to anything I may encounter and in a constant state of surprise. –Chiang Yee “The Silent Traveller in San Francisco”
Our fairy tale travels.

Visiting his alma mater.
From the fells and dales, perfect English countryside.
Peering through nature’s window: a drive…a hike…a beer.
Driving and walking in the shadow of Mt. Doom.
