This past weekend, we had perfect weather in San Francisco. It was an excellent time to explore the city. On Saturday, we headed to Baker Beach, on the west side of the peninsula. This beach has the best views of the Golden Gate Bridge. The water was a really cool teal color and the sand was unexpectedly clean for a public city beach. There are also these infamous sand steps that go up the hill from the beach that are an intense workout to climb. There's just one thing wrong about this beach... that it has the option for nudity. We were strolling along, taking in the scenery, and all the sudden ended up at the end of the beach where all the old men sun naked. And they love to stroll around and let it all hang out.... ooooh the views at Baker Beach...
After Baker Beach we hiked the hills a bit, then headed over to walk the Golden Gate Bridge. On the bridge you get the most amazing view of the city. I was a little anxious on the bridge. I hate heights and the bridge is super high up, plus its gets extremely windy. Now, to preface this next story, my boyfriend likes to affectionately call me "a bull in a china shop." There are times in life when I lack a certain amount of grace and tend to crash into and break things. So, we're strolling along the bridge and I bump into a tourist, who is holding her camera up to take a picture. The camera, in slow motion, flies out of her hand, over the rail, and into the bay below. So, she's pissed, I feel horrible. I wrote her a check to cover the cost of her camera, making this probably one of the most expensive strolls ever taken across the Golden Gate Bridge.
