Travel Missteps: When Walking the Walk is Painful

It's 2019, and I injured my ankle in late December of last year. As I start yet another round of physical therapy it reminds me of my first trip to San Francisco back in 2008, around 6 months after ankle surgery. I had been in a cast for months and then physical therapy after that. Everyone said I'd be ready for the San Francisco trip, but it was rough. All the walking up and down steep hills killed me with each step. And sadly that is what I remember most from this trip. Struggling to keep up with my family.

I picked this one up near Ghirardelli Square among other typical tchotchkes. Souvenir Saturday is an every-other week series on the items that represent travel memories.
