CITY BY THE BAY

I was in San Francisco last week visiting the medical school there, the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF). I had not been there in over a year and a half since the funeral of my friend, Felix, who had worked there. That trip was very short, and I did not even make it into the city. However, this time I stayed right in the middle of the action in the South Beach neighborhood near UCSF. 

It has been a while since I lived in a big city, and I was able to appreciate all that was on offer. I ran along the Embarcadero. I walked around quite a bit and explored the nearby sites.

I had some amazing meals, including one with some of the UCSF faculty and another with my friend, Leisha.

The weather was beautiful, and there was a palpable energy to the city. Young professionals, tourists, and hipsters ambled along the avenues or shared public transportation., moving like a river. One could not help but feel alive!

It was a wonderful trip to the City by the Bay. I hope I get back there soon!
