This weekend we took a great long walk around Russian Hill and saw many beautiful vistas, but I didn’t bring my camera so I don’t get to share them with you. This a camera phone pic that hardly does the walk justice.

It was a guided walk out of one of our San Francisco books; it was rated as “difficult,” and, frankly, I’ve got to agree. There was a lot of walking up staircases only to walk back down again. The highlight, actually was probably the foray into the San Francisco Art Institute for both the Diego Rivera mural and the beautiful views from their plaza. The public restroom didn’t hurt, either.
