After years of being completely enthralled by SF, these last few trips I've found it stark, paved over, dirty, noisy and unpleasant. Don't know a lot about Oakland, but that last trip when I spent a lot of time there I really enjoyed the green space, trees and spaciousness of the east bay. Landmark sightings on the way into Washington DC are really fun, too. Incoming aircraft follow the Potomac south to National Airport, just a couple of miles south of the Capitol. It's spectacular day or night. I love L.A. so maybe I really am bi-coastal. Mostly these days though I am completely an east coast person. Who would ever have thought? Welcome home!

I heard that song by Journey the other day on KFOG and got all teary as I was was going down a hill with a clear view of the bay and bridge and it's been going thru my head ever since. I don't like the band at all...but any song sentimental about san francisco I AM FOR!!! I love the entire Bay Area, east bay, san francisco, and marin....but San Francisco is where I thrive. oh my gawd!!!
