Today we are heading towards the famous Union Square. We hopped on the legendary cable car you see in many movies about this city.
Union Square is beautiful and I am getting those signature whiffs of pot here. This is California after all. We have the cast of characters here in the park: The tourists (us), the book worms reading and eating their lunch before disappearing into one of these beautiful buildings rushing back to work, the guitar player strumming away - maybe writing a song we'll hear some day and the 80 year old man - clad in only shorts, picking Union Square to relax and suntan while the traffic, firetruck sirens and cable cars rush past. I guess he has seen it all and nothing phases him anymore.
An interesting moment: We were having a home made corn beef sandwich at Lefty O' Douls bar. Suddenly, there was an eruption of applause I interpreted as if the Flames had just scored. I turned my head to see the monitor broadcasting a story on CNN. The markets had just closed up nearly 400 points. So even in peace loving, anti-profit, anti-corporate, home of the hippie - good financial news is good financial news and it was cool to witness the celebration.
