"Drive west on Sunset
To the sea
Turn that jungle music down
Just until we're out of town
This is no one night stand
It's a real occasion
Close your eyes and you'll be there
It's everything they say
The end of a perfect day
Distant lights from across the bay"
Here are photos of the two biggest cities in my adopted state. I flew through both of them yesterday and just marveled at how totally different they are. I live, love and work in LA...but I have got to admit that San Francisco has always had my heart...from all the way back in 1974, when my family visited it for the first time. The bay, the hippie types, the cable cars. They have it all. :-)
I was not surprised that the fog was rolling in through the Golden Gate...that is such a normal occurrence. All I saw was one golden tower peaking out of the white. It was so beautiful.
When I got back to LA, there was that same fog at the very edge of the runways at LAX, so they sent us inland and we turned at the Alameda Corridor (that funny rail thing you see in the photo, leading toward the Downtown area.) It brings freight to the area, without holding up traffic. I have never made that maneuver before and it was quite thrilling to do.
I am so glad to be home, though I am missing my sister terribly.
BTW, I have one ear that is killing me right now. It did not like all the changes of pressure. Sigh...
Two fine cities, although I have always loved LA best. People scratch their heads at that, but it is how I feel.
ReplyDeleteWatch that ear, that is not good. And it must be hard to say good bye to your sister each time your visit concludes.
Be well Angel!
I don't think I would ever live in San Francisco, especially since rain is so much a part of the experience in the winter. I just really can't help loving the "look" of the city. It is magnificent.
ReplyDeleteEar is doing a bit better, but still not totally normal. I took some decongestant last night and that seemed to help a lot.
