como una flor

hi yes i am a coach potato night writer but i may look more like a little pretzel, actually.
gotta admit i’m still a bit sore from sunday’s long walk but very glad that happened.
deciding to get out and enjoy some sun versus diving into a fresh acquisition from the library is not easy these days (Dance Dance Dance by Murakami).
sunday it was, a long mellow walk that turned out to be a few miles through a few neighborhoods.
no pace tracking or gizmos. just saying hello to the flowers, a full bottle of water and sunglasses.

pit stops with very flexible alternatives if needed.
1. COFFEE.
2. golde gate park.
3. pizza.

i had been to this little corner coffee corner before, sometime after its opening perhaps last year, and i’m glad it seems to have lots of business. great spot for a quick espresso shot.
i enjoy seeing a bunch of dogs come by, and parents with their babies, and dogs, and some groceries on the go. oh and a coffee. parents are super humans.

also, sundays are farmer’s market day in the inner richmond on clement, which i always seem to forget about.

espresso pit stop at the “island” in the inner richmond, at 5th/california.

entering golden gate park💕 on fulton st. means the rollerskating music welcomes you to nature.

insert rolleskater soundtrack here 😉

car-free sundays in the park

groovy mailbox

at the end of the 4, maybe 5 mile walk it felt nice to sit down and wait for pizzas —with pastry in hand, and coffee in the other— arizmendi bakery is the forever jam of jams.

i took the window image on a different occasion, earlier in august as it was a rare vacant window moment. this is where pesto yum fest pizza enjoyment happened.

arizmendi, foto not taken on a sunday but on a quieter weekday after the lunch rush.

not pictured: took the bus route(s) home.
good to get a little lost and unintentionally exercised, sometimes.
