11.10.17 Golden Gate Bridge, Sausalito, The Castro. Final day in San Fran before we fly to LA.
We spent the day tram travelling first.
The then open top bus tour, over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito.
We love it there. Ice cream in waffle cones, watching the world go by.
We ventured into Galerie Electra. Where I noticed a stunning oil painting of a tree. With its orange and red textures. Just mesmerising. With more beautiful oil paintings. We had a lovely chat with their curator. Where the light catches the colours and paint. (I must email her my art website links) Talking about the 60’s in London, The Doors, life, the San Francisco homeless population. The beauty and serenity of trees and grounding. A wonderful soul she is.
Taking a ferry trip back. We then ventured to The Castro. Wow! We felt so comfortable.
We ate lunch at Harvey’s which does amazing food and salads.
Cocktails at Twin peaks.
We met an got chatting to a great couple who invited us to the local ‘Midnight Sun.’
Cocktails a go go with champagne slush and cosmopolitans. Talking Trump, Harvey Milk, best local places, bitch fits, whistling, relationships, America, dogs, and wonderful things…The horror of the wildfires, vineyards. How people barely escaped in Napa Valley.
We then stumbled rather tipsy… past Castro Theatre and decided to go see Art Garfunkel talk about his book! (no photos or filming allowed- Commonwealth Club rules! ) People here are so friendly. We bought a coke and milk duds and settled in the beautiful theatre with the homely smell of popcorn circulating in this stunning place. I sit there taking it all in, while Ange discussed the horrors of Uk Politics and Teresa May with a Gentleman next to her. Art has the most relaxing voice. I could listen to hours about his life, music and walking travels. A treat to see a legend.
Today America woke me up. Today I saw beyond the grind. I saw a better life.
