Flawless Blue

On my first day in San Francisco last week, the weather was spectacular--warm air, flawlessly blue skies.  It was Saturday and people were celebratory.  A woman told me that I was lucky, that the weather had been awful the week before.  Nope, I said, San Fran is always like this when I come.  And it is true.  The sunny, blue sky San Francisco is the one I dream.  

Big crowds swarmed in every square.  For me, they were exotic, their faces, their clothing.  I was an adventurer in a foreign land, a dreamland, they the subject, I the "other."
