Who can resist the majestic beauty of the Golden Gate Bridge? I certainly can't. Last Sunday as the temperatures edged near 80 degrees, I decided that a walk across the GGB would be a perfect way to enjoy the balmy weather. And so my walking partner and I braved the heavy traffic across the Bay Bridge, snaked our way along VanNess and Lombard Streets, and miraculously found a parking spot at Fort Point. From there it's just a short jaunt up the hill to the vista point next to the toll booths. That's where we began our afternoon stroll. It took forever to reach the other side, though, since the scenic views beckoned us to linger and ooh and aah at what unfolded below, beyond, above, and all around us.
Come take a look at what we enjoyed that warm, sunny afternoon...
Some interesting facts: The color of the GGB is called "International Orange," a mixture of cyan, yellow, black, and magenta. The name of the bridge actually refers to the "Golden Gate Strait," the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean.
