Wow, I lived in San Francisco for 13 years and haven't been back here for 4 years. Feels strange. Familiar and comfortable on one hand, but strange too, almost like I never left or something, but somehow that I don't belong here anymore. And yet, I feel a nostalgia and almost sadness about being here, like reminiscing about times past. I had some good times and memories here. Although I don't think I'd live here again, at least not directly in the city. I was informed a two bedroom now goes for $2500! Unbelievable! Once upon a time, back in 1994, I lived in a two bedroom in SF for $900 and my share was $450.
I leave tomorrow for my continued journey northward. It's been great staying with Luc and Lorilee in San Jose and I'll miss them and hope to see them again sometime soon.
the next stop is just south of Mendocino and then two days in the north redwoods, first camping at Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park and then one night in the Redwood Hostel just south of Crescent City. Then I'll head inland toward Portland and camp near the Mt. Hood National Forest (wanted to stay on the coast but couldn't find a campground for July 4. Then afterward I'll head to Astoria.
