Allison's walk on Noriega and Ortega streets

This is the 1.6-mile course I took, heading east on Noriega and then west on Ortega. This is a really lovely neighborhood with great ocean views and relatively flat, safe roads. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this walk a 3 for the excessive calories you may consume along the route.

Hi. My name is Allison and I am a recent transplant from the Florida Keys, a chain of tiny islands that has one main, stick-straight road, and the impossibility of getting lost. After moving to San Francisco in 2008 and getting lost for the umpteenth time, I made it a goal to walk every street to get my bearings in this hilly, twisted town. After 15 months of steady plodding, I am about 470 miles into the journey. To keep track of where I’ve been I keep a blog, http://allisonwalkssf.com.
