Golden Gate Bridge

When I was 5 years old I saw a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge. I said to my Mum ..

"I am going to walk that Bridge one day"

It was the start of a dream that developed over the next 58 years. The bridgoholic I became(along with Lighthouses and Carousels !) and the want and need to visit San Francisco.

It was just that a dream.. to see the Bridge.. to see the Redwoods... to see the Pacific Ocean ... and so much more.

This October I was able to realise the dream. A friend and her husband had asked me to stay with them as they live in SF and they asked 5 years ago. Finally this October I was able to go ... and they asked for my Wish List.... and so I wrote it down. They... to whom I can only say a heartfelt "Thankyou" .... made the Wish List into reality.

The visit co-insided with the terrible wildfires that caused many deaths and the loss also of 6000 homes and many livelihoods. The air was smokey most days and my heart goes out to all who went through so much

Awesome angle and shot, Pam! Would love to hear more about where you went, ate, etc. I've been there a couple times but it was back in the 80s for an interview in Silicon Valley after college.

A terrific shot! A shame you were there at a time of so much sadness. I want to help the Californian wine industry by buying its wines - unfortunately you just don't find them in Madrid!
