Today, I got out of my car and walked south. I eventually passed a make-shift memorial for a young man who had died, complete with candles, balloons, cards, and other items. These roadside memorials are a sad bit of life, that go largely unnoticed when you are inside a car. However, when walking, you have a chance to glimpse a picture, parts of a story, and it's difficult to ignore these small shrines. So, best wishes to Isaac's family, wherever you may be.
Shortly after this point, I turned around near the intersection of Curtola Parkway and Sonoma Boulevard/Highway 29, and walked north, past my car, and the Vallejo Ferry. There were views of Mare Island from the trail, which ran along the Bay. I walked as far north as the Vallejo Boat Works. Along the way, I stopped and had dinner at Zio Freddos restaurant on the water.
