A place to escape to?

22 Replies

Do you have a favorite place you like to escape to?

Mine is San Francisco. So much to explore. It is my dose of medication from time to time.

When I lived there, I went to Ocean Beach to watch the sunset, near the Cliffhouse or the other side, near the zoo. That’s my favorite place on earth. Now I go to Bodega or Point Reyes. Another place I used to escape to was the Redwoods. I called it the Cathedral because it was like being in the most beautiful church with stained glass and endless rays of sun streaming down into absolute peace and perfection.

I know all those places. In love it!

Do you ever go to Stow Lake in GG park and rent the paddle boat? It’s a dream! And the little hill in the middle is called Strawberry Hill, how sweet is that. The Tonga Room in the Fairmont is a fun place. North Beach for Mona Lisa restaurant can’t get better Italian. City Lights. The Beat Museum. You’re right it’s just endless all the little worlds you can explore!

I haven't done the paddle boat. Added to bucket

list. Mona Lisa is one of my most favorite places to eat in the world actually. The food and the atmosphere is amazing.

The bathroom. I know it sound so cliche but I find peace there. I am all alone and quiet and nobody bothers me. Lol

I can so relate to that, it's the only place I can be alone and that doesn't always work!🙃

A funny world we live in when we seek the most unsuspecting places for silence.

Not a city but an activity I love to do is go to the movies. I love film and I hope to be a filmmaker someday. I've yet to visit San Francisco but I have a brother who just moved out there for school so I'll probably go there sometime.

in reply to jacklopez

I hope to see your movies soon.

I love love love San Francisco! If I could, Id go there all the time.

I used to do the beach a lot in Florida where I live but lately, I have been fantasizing about AZ and NV.

So, my next trip will be there.

Superstar, my favorite escape is Wisconsin. I love the cheese, I love the chocolate shoppe

I have to pass on the border of Illinois/Wisconsin and nothing is more beautiful than Wisconsin in Fall. The colors of leaves are spectacular. :)

in reply to Agora1

Never been. Sounds beautiful. Added to bucket list.

Lake Geneva, Wisconsin My home away from home.

Quaint little Bed & Breakfast places to stay along the Lake.

I've never seen an ocean so this is all I know. :)

in reply to Agora1

I’m glad you find peace there.

in reply to Agora1

You have to make a point to stand next to the ocean, but make it the best one. Only in California.
