Home Sweet Home
At least for the next few days, this is my home away from home: the swanky Hotel Palomar, right above Old Navy on Market Street. The room is quite posh, with a tub deep enough to need scuba gear. My only quibble is that the turn down service includes turning on the TV each night. I don't get it. . .
I adore the location which allowed me to take a brisk 3 mile walk to the Ferry Building and back this morning. Sure I needed my umbrella but I'm from Seattle! The sun came out just in time to set the white spire of the Ferry Building gleaming against a pink sky. I thought I was also admiring the Golden Gate Bridge but I learned later from my intrepid driver, Cynthia, that all that glitters is not gold: I was admiring the Bay Bridge. Oh, well -- it was a wonderful way to start the day, regardless.
