Both of us stuffed, David and I went on our first stairwalk hike in SF. Jeff, (beg1n) Gym Buddy Extraordinaire, suggested we photodocument our hikes. and who am I to say no to such a request! (Hi Jeff, *waving*)

so without any further ado:

Stairwalk #1: Noe Valley!

Today we started at 24th and Church after a short J line ride, and walked up one of the steepest hills in SF (24th to Vicksburg) - a 32% grade.


1/2 way up the grade on the 24th Street steps to Vicksburg

Great start on an fun hike... from there we followed 24th to Noe - headed down to Liberty and went up then back down the liberty street stairs -


The Liberty Street Stairs up from Noe Street

then back to 24th till it deadends - and down the steps to Diamond street - we turned onto Elizabeth which then led to the stairs up to Grandview

The Western Turret on the walkway over Market Street from Grandview

- and after taking in the view of the city - we came back down through the neighborhood down the Corwin steps - through the Castro - and back home. Now we're hanging out for a while before picking Miss Kate up from the spa at 3pm :)

It is an astoundingly beautiful day outside - and we had a great time. We had lovely Joe and Chris (capy) encounter in the 'Stro - and now are back at CasaDeMuffin with the windows open and sharing a breeze. :) (and a nectarine Honest Tea)

After we pick up Miss Kate from the spa - it's David's turn - he'll head off to get a beard trim and haircut- and I'll start making dinner. (Chipotle (sp?) Meatloaf (thanks abearius for the idea!)) Meatloaf, Salad and fruit and Tony and Paully over for Tim Burton's SWEENEY TODD.

David suggested that adorable pictures of him should be posted AFTER his haircut and beard trim. :) More to come.....

Spa Treatment!

Fresh From The Spa: Kateydog got a lovely spa treatment today - nails, facial, hairdo. :) She was so excited to see David and I when we picked her up. :)
