Leslie Nord's Random Thoughts on Friends, Family and Life

I was never much of a writer - more like a rambler that can easily get lost in a tangent. My blog lets me go out on those tangents any time I want to. So remember, life is like a rollercoaster: Sit down and hang on. Sometimes you'll want to scream, sometimes you'll puke, but give it a chance and you'll find it can be a lot of fun.

The Bridge Walk

Still trying to play catch up but my memories are still very clear on my walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. What a great experience! Four of us grabbed a city bus that took us to the foot of the bridge. How cool is that - public transportation that is tourist friendly? The fog was starting to roll back in - it was around 3:30PM but it was clearer (and slightly warmer) than it was earlier that morning. The first small section of the bridge was under repair so there was some chainlink fencing up - it made it "easier" for me to look over the edge. I have a serious fear of falling. The chainlink fence ended once we got past the "seismic repairs". I tried looking over the edge but the gusts of wind started freaking me out - I walked almost on the "wrong" side of the walkway just to stay away from the railing and the edge. Even watching other people look over the edge was giving me the creeps. But even with my fear of falling it was beautiful - I enjoyed the entire trek across and back.

I think we figured up that I walked over 8 miles in the 2 days I was out and about in San Francisco.
