Friday’s Journey

From Corte Madera, we walked south along the highway. I’d Walked this path several times before. It was interesting to me to discover that my opinion of this particular stretch of the journey has changed – when I Walked it the first time on the second day in the 2009 Walk, it was soooo hard! I truly didn’t think I was gong to be able to do it. It is full sun the whole way and walking on pavement and I was exhausted. I’ve Walked it twice since and now, this year, it didn’t seem that bad at all. Guess I’m getting used to it. :-D

The scenery was, as usual, gorgeous. We walked through Mill Valley to Sausalito then over the Golden Gate Bridge and down to catch the ferry on Fisherman’s Wharf.

The last 3 years, I Walked by myself. It was a neat experience in that I spent a lot of time talking with various Walkers, Crew, and Spectators along the way. This year I Walked with a coworker and her partner. This was really cool too. We had a lot of fun talking and laughing together.

Here are Pina and Saundra in Sausalito:

Here I am on the Sausalito side of the bridge:

And then Pina and I on the SF side:

We had a great time. We met so many interesting people.

Saundra and I met Dr. Frank-N-Furter at one of the Pit Stops:

The three of us joined up with the Hookers for Hooters. I mean after all, people paid us to Walk the streets too so we are in a similar line of work, right?

Couldn’t resist this photo op, being a big Blues Brothers fan:
