IT’S 10:00 SATURDAY MORNING morning in San Francisco’s Marina district.
On Steiner Street the first of many food trucks is making a delivery to the restaurants. People are out and about getting coffee or walking the dog. Or enjoying a choice spot to sit and read the paper.

The cafes are posting the day's specials, and the Italian deli is sending its enticing fragrances out into Chestnut Street. |

THE MARINA IS ON San Francisco's north bay shore. In fact, much of it was under water prior to 1912. Now, it's a district of row houses, shops and restaurants. |

A GOOD URBAN STROLL follows Steiner for a block northward from Lombard to Chestnut, and then proceeds on Chestnut westward (turning left) for three blocks, with perhaps a pause for brunch at a sidewalk café. |

A RIGHT TURN ON Divisadero Street from Chestnut will take you into a residential neighborhood of pastel-colored row houses. Follow Divisadero two blocks to Bay Street. Turn left (west) on Bay Street and follow it two blocks to Baker. A right turn north on Baker will bring you to the Palace of Fine Arts and the Exploratorium. |

Here's a map of the route. There's a parking structure one block west of Steiner at 3252 Pierce Street. The entire walk from the parking structure to the beginning of Crissy Field is approximately 1.3 miles, or 2.1 kilometers, one way. Crissy Field itself extends an 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) to the Golden Gate Bridge.
