I’ve previously posted about how I created content on San Francisco, Amsterdam, and Berlin for Jeff of walkli.com.  Jeff and the crew at Walkli particularly liked my walking tour of San Francisco’s Castro and Mission neighborhoods.  In fact, they named it the #4 walk of 2017!  I still have at least a couple more walks of San Francisco I have in mind.  One of these days, when I find the time, I’ll sit down on get to work on them.  At least one of them should be a bit of a challenge.  Climbing up and down San Francisco’s 3 most famous of its many steep hills would challenge anyone.

The good news of Billy’s Cities keeps getting spread!  Dereck, a fellow travel blogger, was soliciting collaboration for a post he was working on.  He specifically wanted people to write about spots in their cities that are more familiar to locals than to tourists.  Of course, San Francisco has plenty of those.  I offered to contribute a handful of such San Francisco sites.  It worked out terrific!  Dereck included my write-up on off-the-beaten-path sites in San Francisco that visitors should check out.  But not only that…  He also included one of my pictures of the incredible MaestraPeace mural on the the Mission District’s Women’s Building as the featured photo on his post.  Thanks Dereck!!
