Golden Gate One

_C265931

Entering form the East side of Golden Gate Park was the first entry.  Right at the end of Haight Street.  Now, we also entered from the North and from the West and each direction had its own flavor.

The East end had parks, playgrounds and merry-go-rounds.  Both of us found the playground cool.  There is no way that a solid concrete wave (? what is that) would be deemed child safe these days.

Nor would this crazy broken arm machine be allowed to stand.  I am going to break up the first day GG Park trip not quite in order of time.  Its hard, since the park is so freakishly large.

George Moscone is famous for being assassinated just before Harvey Milk.  It is important to understand that Harvey Milk wasn't shot because he was gay, but because Dan White lost it.  The dude reloaded after killing two people.  He's also famous for the "Twinky defense".  It is a mixed bag, only remembered because someone famous was shot before you, and having yourself be remembered at all.

Again, the variety of trees was crazy.  Everywhere a new tree.  I thought it was pretty fantastic.

The best part of this sign, it is on the edge of two baseball fields.  Which were covered with people walking their dogs.  Also notice, Californians have a law for everything.  It was after this section that we went to the Japanese Tea Garden.  Enjoy, jon
