San Francisco felt like a memory unfolding in real time—fog curling over rooftops, cable cars humming past painted houses, sea air brushing softly against old brick and glass. The city moved like a story told slowly, full of turns and quiet moments that asked me to look closer. I remember standing at the edge of the bay, wrapped in wind and light, thinking, “This place was built to be felt, not just seen.”
What stayed with me were the still spaces: the hush of morning on a hilltop street, the warmth of a bookstore near North Beach, the clink of tea cups in a quiet corner of Chinatown. I wandered through pastel alleys and eucalyptus trails, through sunlight and fog and soft silences—and I left feeling a little changed, like San Francisco had handed me a small piece of wonder and asked nothing in return.
