Greetings from San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park
I ventured out to the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. The weather was still showing its beauty as my friends and I stepped on the beach of this little marina. We got to enjoy the sand between our toes, surrounded by families and others playing in the water. This…

I went to the Ocean beach fire pits during one night with a few friends who were having a fire jam. This was the first time that I have been to the pits. It was a clear warm night, unusual for San Francisco, and many other people were enjoying the…

Greetings from Golden Gate National Recreation Area
My venture on the Cataract trail in Mount Tamalpais, also known as Mount Tam, with my roommate was one for the books. We have been bickering lately and feeling disconnected, so our day trip on the trail was the perfect cure. The trail loop is about 7-8 miles total, so…
