San Francisco: Intersecting Cultures
San Francisco shined with a light so blue and wispy yesterday, my family and I got lost in the beauty. We intersected multiple cultures, inadvertently climbing out of the BART station at Market & Main to a roaring throng of GLBT pride paraders. Like an elliptical moon over the bay, a multicolored blimp looped round and round. We climbed aboard a MUNI transport to Pier 39, spooned a couple of sourdough bowls of fine chowder, sipped three shots of espresso, and sucked up the fresh breeze off the bay. The voices were global--French, German, Spanish, Russian, etc.--and the people were full of life and color. By the time we walked past Fisherman's Wharf, we had taken in Jackson's favorites, Ripley's Believe or Not and In and Out Burger. I picked up some novel instruments at the Lark music store. We headed up to North Beach for Sunday Mass and authentic Italian dining. On the way back to our South San Fran hotel, we stuffed ourselves like sardines on another MUNI with a hundred Chinese. The whole day was beautiful. It is what Josiah Q seeketh. Openness and tolerance.
