Tricia found this walk for me that was about 5 miles away so it meant a drive out towards Golden Gate Park. Not a great distance but it was quite a circuitous route. Thankfully Google maps came to the rescue again.

I parked up on a residential street and found my way to the <a href="https://artaic.com/the-16th-avenue-tiled-steps-project-in-san-francisco/" target="_blank">Moraga steps</a>. It's a long, long flight of stairs decorated with tiled patterns - Jane would have loved this. The mosaic steps are based on steps in a small town in <a href="http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/ceramic-steps-of-caltagirone" target="_blank">Sicily</a>.

As you can see from the map the walk wound its way round residential streets and up and down many stairways. All of the houses were really cutsie with a variety of designs making it very interesting. The views from many of the houses out to the sea were amazing. Many were perched on the top of steep hillsides so they were two storey at the front but four at the back. Some were on stilts at the back so they overhung the hill.

At the very top of the walk I could look right across the city - Golden Gate Park, the bridge and the down town districts. As often happens in San Francisco there was cloud coming in off the Pacific when I arrived but it was starting to burn off when I took these pictures.

To drive back to 14th Street I had to turn around and as I did so I drove off on the wrong side of the road. As moved towards an oncoming car wondering why they were driving erratically I realised it wasn't them it was me. Phew, a quick correct, a wave of apology and I was back on track. As I was guided back I did have time to note that I drove up Uranus - yes a street named Uranus. Well that's another first...
