From time to time I take a break from Active Rain, like I've done this past month. Sure, I sign on just about every day, read a few great posts, comment on some and then--I stop.
So what do I do with the time I don't spend blogging? I might enjoy a City hike through a different San Francisco neighborhood like I did Friday afternoon - I always find that refreshing, and always find something new to make me smile and excite me while I re-visit some favorite places.
On a recent March day, we walked to the Civic Center BART station and took BART to Glen Park. A walk along a few blocks took us to the Sunnyside Conservancy, then up to little Dorothy Erskine Park, down to Glen Canyon Park, up to Walter Haas Playground (view of the city from there was stunning- see above photo) down to Billy Goat Hill for more views, down 30th Street (where we came across the art fence) to Church Street.
After a visit to our favorite German foods store (the low-sugar black currant fruit spread is a must!) we enjoyed an early dinner at Eric's Chinese Restaurant before boarding the K-Church streetcar taking us back to Van Ness Avenue and a short walk home.
When I take breaks from Active Rain, I get a fresh sense of appreciation for all the benefits I get from this platform. I sense my return from this last hiatus is getting close!
When you live in San Francisco, jaunts like this one become second nature.
