Spies Roam the Streets of San Francisco!

Just had big fun playing an agent in the active spy game "Jericho", brainchild of FoxHound Urban Adventures. As an agent, different teams met with me in several locations in the city to pick up "intel" (instructions on where to go next, who to meet etc.). Of course, several of us agents brought disguises--

I covered 5.5 miles from the Fort Mason Chapel to the steps outside the Marine Museum, to high on the hill of Coit Tower, to a tea shop on Kearny, then finally to an alley between Market St. and Mission (and back). If you like your exercise to have a dash of mystery and fun, this is the bomb (or Nerf gun, depending...).

Foxhound hosts a similar Jericho game for free every month as a meet-up.


Jericho was just one of the urban games featured as part of "Come out and play SF", hosted by Fort Mason Center for Arts and Culture. Fort Mason has really upped the ante on the variety and quality of the events it supports. Check it out, and watch out for those Nerf bullets!

Sunset from my driveway, February 2013

I've traveled around the world, and loved (nearly) every minute of it--and I'm happy to be home. I'm lucky enough to live in a fantastic place, the San Francisco Bay Area. I've lived here most of my life (thanks to my folks choosing this area to settle in when I was small), and have enjoyed a lot of local attractions. In addition, as a member of Bay Area Travel Writers (a professional group), I'm often invited to destinations and events that are off the radar of many locals and visitors--so I'm going to continue to review and share as many of these great activities and places with you in the coming year as I can--and who knows, I might throw in an exotic destination too, since I'm a gypsy at heart.
