Early bird gets the gains, such is true in physical training and life. Been a while since I got to the gym while it was dark. Looking forward to today. Everyday can be used to get closer to something better☺️💪🏾 (hier: Nysc 115)

The Collapse: The Accidental Fall of The Berlin Wall by Mary Elise Sarotte- on my reading list immediately. What a fantastic talk by the author, the photo in the picture shows one of the more memorable moments of East Germans leaving East Berlin for the West. I even got her perspective on the transition from communism to democracy while she was living there. Too much fun! Thanks to #ACG and @gi_newyork for a wonderful event. Freu mich auf das nächstes! 😀🇩🇪 (hier: Goethe-Institut New York)

And so we come to this juncture again,watching the sunset on this particular visit but leaving with clear point of focus and goal in mind. It's not goodbye, it's more like I'll see you again very soon good friend. (hier: Embarcadero)

Rare that I take photos in office lobbies, but this living wall is something that is a little too cool for me to ignore. Just the kind of touch the west coast would have 😉 (hier: Along Howard Street)

"Jenner by Sea: population 170" Yesterday, the beach got elevated to a whole new level when we went to the Sonoma Coast. The Russian Gulch Beach is something to be admired. I've never been to a beach this gorgeous in the United States. Water so blue, dark sand, the views...It's no wonder people from California are always bragging 😉. This is definitely a happy place. Can't wait to come back. (hier: Russian Gulch Beach)

Yesterday I went on a hike in the Redwoods. It's the first time I've been to a nature preserve like this. It's something everyone should experience once. Aside from how beautiful it is, how old and deep the forest goes makes one think about how small one is, place in life and how we can continue to survive and thrive while keeping our original composition. When you get a chance, come and see it for yourself. (hier: Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve)

As we get into the afternoon, I have found a new California favorite called Zahel. Orange infused white wine. Dry, smooth delicious. A great start to the afternoon! (hier: Bay Grape)

"Change the world from here" it's written all over the place. Up here for a quick visit. I also think it's the first week of classes so it's pretty vibrant on campus. A bit of a pleasant flashback to simpler times.😊📖✒️📇 (hier: University of San Francisco)
