Day 2

The first notable activity of the day was going to the Farmer’s Market and picking out lunch items for our trip to Endor later in the day. Loved the falafel and the four avocados I got, but what I think was important to the day was the combination of meeting the Adriannas and the girl from the cheese stand. Help me naw! Next, we went to Muir Woods. It was raining, it was cold, and it was quite windy, and although I may not be a big fan of the outdoors, I am very glad I went to this. It was literally awe-inspiring. These trees are so tall and so ancient that it puts your own existence into perspective. Whether I become a clerk at Wall-Mart or the next Albert Einstein, these trees and this world will still be the same as it has been in the past and will continue to remain that way for a long, long time. Afterwards, we took quick hot showers at the hotel, attempted to watch Shaq bout with Oscar de la Hoya, and visit City Lights Book Store. At first, I was a bit put off by the atmosphere of this place, I got the sense everybody was more well-read than I, but I did find exactly what I was looking for, which were writings from Che Guevara. There was no particular reason as to why I wanted specifically Che, I just wanted something I couldn’t get at home and Che is a figure that I have been longing to delve more into. After a quick appetizer of Chinatown, we all headed to Park Chow. Classy, artistic comfort food. The burger was delicious and I learned a lot from the speaker at the end of the meal. All in all, the day was much better than anticipated.

The song of the day is 93 til Infinity by Souls of Mischief. They’re a San Francisco rap group from the early nineties. The song is smooth and starts a little bit slow, and then the pace of the song remains the same. It’s not slow but it’s not fast and that’s how I feel the day went.
