we started coming to san francisco when teddie and jerold lived here in the seventies. teddie hadn’t had jake yet when they first moved here. i called jake to say hi and find out how old he was. can you believe he is now 45?
jake said he’s busy at work. amanda’s cook book on fermenting is doing well. she was recently in japan on a reality tv show promoting it. you know fermenting is becoming a very healthy way to eat. saurerkraut anyone? kimchi?
so it’s been over 45 years we’ve been coming to the city by the bay. and i had never heard of these steps before. i read about them a few years ago in a sunset magazine. i cut the the article and have saved it all this time. i do that a lot. and we finally made it here.
what a joy it is when that happens.
also a joy to see something so beautiful.
i guess you know that’s not me.
what an accomplishment. they are so unique. even the succulent gardens on the sides are kept gorgeous.
they are in an old neighborhood with narrow streets that jerry maneuvered through expertly. thanks jerry. it’s a little gem in the big city.
and no we didn’t walk up them. there are signs posted everywhere to lock you car and take valuables with you. it takes only 10 seconds for people for people to break in.
so we locked the car and i took the most valuable thing i have, quickly took pictures and went back to the coach.
we found some delicious smoked salmon and had it for dinner.
don’t know what we will do next – stay tuned
Once in awhile-now and again-this is us 
You continue to astonish me with your stories and the places they take you. Such sweet memories and amazing places to find and celebrate. My favorite shot was the last one, but enjoyed the historic plaque and the artists names and community efforts to bring this place to fruition.
You guys look cold, but we are hot here so come on home and hate the heat with us….
Love the mosaic work. I’m glad you saved that article, Jill, so beautiful. You have a knack for finding the most interesting sites. My favorite, too, the picture of you guys with the steps. Sis
I’m glad I don’t have to climb those steps everyday. Could lose weight that way but would do it from the hospital. Again, thanks for sharing your adventures.
