City Walks SF #27: Cole Valley and Ashbury Heights

This walk is very close to our house. Cole Valley is really the only other place we can walk to besides the Castro. We picked up a baguette at La Boulange and some tasty cheese at Say Cheese (including Pepper Havarti - delicious) and checked out the natural areas on the card:

Tank Hill:




(It was really windy.)

And where the rich people live above UCSF:


I love all the staircases in San Francisco. They could have just made pedestrians walk along the roads, but instead there's all these great stair passages. This one even has a street name - Farnsworth.


I'm pretty sure rich people live here because the road is paved with red bricks. Oh, and that's me on the other side of the road. And old lady warned me in hushed tones that someone was taking my picture. How thoughtful of her...


And the road dead ends in a grove of eucalyptus. Gorgeous but oh so flammable.

Maybe if we were rich and worked at UCSF (because I'm pretty sure you would have to drive anywhere else - not too close to public transit), we would live in this gorgeous, quiet part of the city too. Very cute!
