Walking the Great Highway


 I was at friend's soccer game in San Francisco and after it was done, I noticed that I was a couple of blocks away from the Great Highway. The Great Highway is a road that is about 3.5 miles in length and on the cities western edge. It was built in 1929. Since last year about half of it has been closed to traffic and I walked part of that section.

It is cool because it is so funky:





And there are cool benches that you can sit if you are tired:




Oh,  I forgot to mention that it runs parallel to Ocean Beach:






And near the Pacific Ocean (I know more ocean waves-lol) as I was there on a overcast cloudy day:






The Great Highway is one San Francisco's treasures.

  4. So many great things to see. I like that tree that looks like it's going to topple over because it's so windy.
