Well written ode to parts of the City by the Bay and to its history. Great addition to the many books about it by someone who knows it well.

I love the fog. We took a long bike ride and I wanted to snap a picture of Alcatraz in the distance. It also reminded me of this tagged book; if you have an affinity for San Francisco, check it out ☁️💕.

Might not be so meaningful for those who don't know San Francisco fairly well. But for those of us who do, it is a series of love letters in essay form. Geology, natural history, history from pre-city days to more recent times… Only thing missing is maps. I know I have some more exploring to do!
