Tomorrow I leave this paradise for San Francisco. I have been here on vacation for the last two weeks and can’t get enough of this glorious place. I have been so busy, enjoying every moment here that I have neglected writing a journal entry in my blog.
This city is bustling with activity! From the buff surfers in Mission Bay, the fitness walkers in Carlsbad, to the diehard cyclists in La Jolla, there is something here for those who live to be outdoors. I spontaneously laced up my sneakers one magnificent afternoon and ran along the harbor in Shelter Island. I was so mesmerized that I nearly ran into the bay! I confess that I haven’t run in two years due to osteoarthritis of the knees. Oddly, my knees haven’t bothered me running or since I’ve been here. I attribute this to the perfect weather conditions here- dry!
I dread heading back east where my knees will once again be subject to the idiosyncracies of the New England weather. I will miss the ocean breeze – the dry air – the bright sun – I guess that I am a Californian at heart!
