Oct 14th 2011 - A 5.6 Mile Round Trip to the Ocean

The ocean is 2.6 miles from my front door. Now I know. :)

I've been wanting to walk all the way to the ocean for awhile. I tried a week or two ago, but it got too dark by the time I had hit 2 miles and I turned around and walked home in the dark. This time I left at 7am and watched the world light up.

It's so strange to have sun in this neighborhood (the Sunset) - most of the year it's foggy.

5.6 miles, 2 hours and 15 minutes. I walked along Ulloa to the ocean, and along Taraval coming home. Lots of stops for pictures, stoplights, and a run to the produce market for some fresh pita bread and a dazzling array of feta cheeses.

In the Sunset district, most of the houses are connected to each other. And the streets are much wider than in most of the other residential areas. I used these nice wide streets to teach my eldest to drive.
