Diversity

I have mentioned previously that there seems to be a vast diversity in San Francisco. Indeed, I believe diversity has to be the theme of our trip. We've seen diversity in people. As we have walked down the streets of San Francisco, on Angel Island and on Alcatraz, we could hear a multitude of different languages being spoken. We've also seen a diversity of physical land features. On Tuesday of our trip we began at the famous Cliff House on the Pacific enjoying the waves and all of the sites the rocky beach has to offer.


Then we went to Muir Woods which is just about 30 minutes north of San Francisco. Muir Woods is a redwood forest that has historical significance.


It seems that when the United Nations was forming the delegates met in San Francisco during the spring of 1945. Shortly before FDR was to open the United Nations conference he died. On May 19, the delegates held a commemorative ceremony in tribute to his memory in Muir Woods' Cathedral Grove, where a dedication plaque was placed in his honor.


Our next stop was in Sausalito where they had all kinds of shops and very upscale restaurants and hotels. Then we ended up at the Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge is really something and they have a beautiful garden there with lovely rose bushes.



We began our day at the ocean and ended it at the bay having visited the forest and a marina town in between. Diversity is indeed the theme of this trip.
