A hike in the Headlands

Saturday afternoon was hiking afternoon. And I love a good hike. I'm not particularly fond of super dangerous, rigorous, requires all kinds of materials hike; I'm more of a long, scenic height that allows for good conversation with friends, beautiful scenery, and gets me tired by the end. And there are lots of those in Marin. Davis, not so much what with it being flat, flat, flat. And I really miss not being able to go on hikes more often because I find them very relaxing and a way to clear my mind when anything is bothering me. Something about being in the nature and all. It's cliche, but whatever. It's also true.

So Saturday was the day. I went with Sasha and some of her friends for a hike in the Marin Headlands, right next to the Golden Gate Bridge. And it was gorgeous. Seriously, look at this:

It was an incredibly beautiful, sunny, and very windy day. Here are some more pictures from a lovely afternoon.

Days like Saturday remind of how beautiful Marin and San Francisco are and how much I love them and am proud to say that's where I'm from. It also makes me really, really excited to move home in June. I swear, every time I go home for the weekend, it gets harder and harder to return to Davis when it's over. So I'm just sort of counting down until I get to go home. Because even though I've lived in Davis for a year and a half, it has never felt entirely like home. But I'll be back there soon, so I always have that to look forward to.

P.S. I have not been able to stop listening to The Sounds ever since the concert on Thursday. Their new album, Something to Die For, is all kinds of awesome, especially this song. Go get it. You won't regret it!
