I always take a different route and am hoping to get lost and find my way, it's hard to be lost for long in this place, it's just not that big and there are some nice big landmarks to navigate by. Still being lost physically and mentally now those are trips my hippie friends take all of the time. Yes even today there are hippies in San Fran hard to imagine I know.<br/><br/>My first turn lo and behold a sumptuous hill, let's go. I always notice the details in street work. You can date many of these sidewalks to the work programs from the great depression, often there will be a stamp and date in the concrete. I notice the oldest sections, the cracks, the repairs and I see the clues to the stories all around me. The history of a city always excites me. Once while walking in Paris I came across signs marking the deaths of resistance fighters and other people in these very streets. Come to think of it there is something like that near pier 39 a union worker was killed there. The message is clear make good choices take your steps wisely the city is you companion now.
