San Francisco: Golden Gate Park
I must admit that I had no idea of the size of Golden Gate Park nor of its history when I first came to wander in it unexpectedly…My preference for exploring any place on foot, without a map or a guide book, keeps me alert to anything I may encounter and in a constant state of surprise. –Chiang Yee “The Silent Traveller in San Francisco”
San Francisco: SFMOMA
10:00. Every city, every place I suppose, has its own rhythm. Learning to flow with the dance in the streets takes time. I’m up very late this morning.
