The world is a staircase. Some go up, and some come down. We must ascend. From Accordion Crimes by Annie Proulx
Let me tell you one of my favorite pastimes:
On one of my strolls through a bookstore I found the book: “Stair Walks in San Francisco”, by Adah Bakalinsky. She describes 27 stair walks around our beautiful city. I started to walk them, and already discovered many places I have never seen, San Francisco’s back roads. I come across astonishing views of this beautiful city, hidden places, and learned the history of small neighborhoods. I highly recommend this book and the walks. Even though the walks can be challenging, you can take shortcuts if you are a beginner to exercise.
My favorite walk so far includes the magic stairway. It is a mind-blowing mosaic style stairway at Moraga and 16th Avenue. If you haven’t seen it yet, it is a MUST. The author says: “people are entranced by the colorful mosaic tile stairway that tells a story of sky and water and birds and fish and flowers and frogs.” And I was too. Come and see it. It is truly astounding!
