The Rai Walks

When asked what he'll miss most when he leaves S.F., your Uncle Bart said, "The Rai walks."
He was talking about the two or three hour morning walks that the three of us took together every morning during his visit. It was a continuation of the tradition we had begun the last time your Uncle Bart visited (4 years ago) when we'd sneak off in those early hours of the day to talk about life while enjoying the rise of the sun over the city hills and skyline.
The tradition has now evolved to include you. You'd wake up before 6 a.m. and we'd be ready 10 minutes later, running out the door with you strapped to one of our chests, heading for some spot along the coast.
Over the course of the four mornings that Bart had in San Francisco, we were able to wrap our way around the entire north and west coast of the city and even made it as far down as Pacifica with walks at Fort Funston, under the cliffs of Daly City, and up the ridge at Linda Mar.
And so, the 'Rai Walks' were born. Next time you see your Uncle Bart, you may join us with feet on the ground but even though you won't need someone to carry you anymore, I can guarantee you that your uncle will still want to hold you close.
