The Marine Mammal Center & Marin Headlands (Cellphone Photos)

On the 26th April 2026, my parents and I took a trip to the Marin Headlands in Golden Gate National Recreation Area in Marin County, CA. We also visited The Marine Mammal Center (2000 Bunker Rd, Sausalito, CA 94965). It was a fun trip, however very tiring. I took photos with my cellphone. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!

Message from the Photographer: Unfortunately my physical health continues to fail due to Long COVID, and my mental health has been very very bad these past few months. Unfortunately I've been going out (no matter how exhausted I am) and prioritizing mental health at the moment, even though these trips are detrimental to my physical health.

First stop of the trip was The Marine Mammal Center (2000 Bunker Rd, Sausalito, CA 94965). There were not many patients at the hospital on this trip.

UCSF Parnassus Heights & Golden Gate NRA (Cellphone Photos) - San Francisco, CA

Yesterday, on the 2nd February 2026, I had to go to UCSF Parnassus Heights Campus in San Francisco, CA for more medical testing due to complications from a COVID infection a little over 2 years ago. I took a few photos at UCSF, and after I was done with the medical tests, my parents and I went over to Golden Gate National Recreation Area. I visited Crissy Field Beach, Fort Point, and Torpedo Wharf. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!

Message from the Photographer: If you have been following me on here for a while, you'll know that I've had Long COVID for over 2 years now, and the virus has completely screwed up my life. Unfortunately none of the specialists and doctors here on the edge of the San Francisco Bay Area in the Tri-Valley knows anything about Long COVID. Unfortunately all the specialists in the field seems to be at the major hospitals around the area.
