Sublime Sunday and An Overnight in SF

avatar

My friends picked me up at home at 4:30 pm, just early enough that there was still a little light left in the sky. It didn’t last long though.

By the time we got to Vacaville, the day was already slipping into darkness, the kind that arrives early this time of year.

From my home to San Francisco took two hours.

Traffic was slow, but steady; just the usual rhythm of cars inching their way toward the city. We were going to attend a party and stay overnight, so there wasn’t any pressure... just the long stretch of freeway.

The Bay Bridge always looks pretty at night. This time was no different.
The tunnel, with its blue lights, is like a small moment of ceremony.

And then, as always, you come out of the tunnel, and there it is: the skyline of San Francisco!

From the bridge, you can see so much of the Embarcadero and the Financial District. It’s a view that never gets old.

I don’t miss working in the city. I don’t miss the constant rush. But I do miss my home district. Driving in always brings back memories. This is where I finished elementary school, and where I went to middle school, and high school. These are the streets I grew up on. And UCSF is where I completed both my college and graduate courses. It is forever in my memory!

Passing through the city stirs up all of that at once: the years of studying, the routines, the feeling of being young and focused and surrounded by possibility.

Even though the drive was long, it felt like a small return...to the places that shaped me.

Beautiful pictures! That was a great sunset and nice shots of the bay bridge. That's the problem with California, mileage wise the destination isn't that far away, but the traffic makes the trip twice as long! It's why I hate going into LA! I'm glad you had a nice trip and enjoyed the sites along the way @silversaver888 !

The commute definitely got better once they switched to cameras at the toll booths—though I do wonder what happened to all the former toll workers. Still, traffic crawls.
San Francisco is not the same city anymore, @thebighigg.

Yes, cow-ville! San Francisco’s streets twist and wander like the cattle trails they once were.

Nice shots Sis, better than mine.
My last In-Car photo is on Christmas Day evening with my kids and I returning home from Christmas dinner at my brother's home.

The typical rainy weather, dark, and in motion so it was impossible to get a clean shot.

Always, with Love 🤗🌺❤️

The only time I do not prefer to drive in the rains is when it is dark and rainy. I know a few places along my most frequented streets that night time traffic viability is not good, adequate or clearly marked.

Do you find that things seem smaller than you remembered as a child when you go by the areas you grew up in? It might not, since you also attended collage there. Just curious, as the one time I went back for my dad's funeral in 2002, it seemed my childhood neighborhoods has 'shrunk' in size. It was odd.

I hope you had a wonderful time sis! Thanks for sharing and have a lovely evening!🤗😘😍❤️ !LADY !LUV !BBH
