On Saturday, I had the perfect San Francisco day. We went up to Potrero Hill to see if we'd like to live in the neighborhood next year, and found an area that we loved. We then went to visit my husband's aunt, and then went on a walk at Land's End. After a great walk, we went to the famous Mission Chinese for dinner. When we first moved to California, I thought that we'd have days of exploring and hiking, and I was so happy to spend a day doing just that.
If you have never been, Land's End is a park in the northeast corner of San Francisco within Golden Gate Park. The park has incredible views of the Golden Gate Bridge, and has a two mile round trip walk to the end of a cliff. One thing that I especially appreciate about San Francisco is the ability to experience the wonder of nature without leaving the city.
At the start of the Land's End Trail are the Sutro Baths. The Sutro Baths was once the largest indoor swimming establishment in the world. The pools were filled with the ocean tides, and contained seven pools of varying temperatures. However the baths were not profitable, and were closed in 1966. Months later the pools burned down in suspicious circumstances, and have never been rebuilt. All that remains are the walls and ruins, which you can explore especially in low tide.
What is the perfect day in your town?
