I am giving a talk in the afternoon about the Church and tech and how I use it, etc. Before my talk I am taking the ferry from Sausalito to San Francisco for a bite and stroll.
A familiar sight.
What could we use Alcatraz for?
Heading up to Chinatown I happened on the old "S" Mint.
All sorts of people engaged me today. Some were very cordial. I saw someone stop dead in his tracks staring at me and then cross to the other side of the street. Quite a few stared with evident surprise at the apparition in the black suit. Still, quite a few saluted with a cheerful "Hi, Father!" or some other greeting. Even more people did that in Sausalito.
People seem much more interested in engaging you here than in, say, NYC. Also, they are in far less hurry in shops, etc.
I made a stop at Old St. Mary’s, again in Chinatown.
It might not surprise readers of WDTPRS that I found some Chinese food for lunch.
Dim sum is fast, good, and… fast. I only had a short time before my dash back to the ferry.
Before I forget, an old fellow was playing the erhu outside St. Mary’s. I enjoy a good erhu tune… unfortunately he was played Yankee Doodle.
I got back to the ferry terminal with a few minutes to spare.
Here is one that specializes in Tasty Salted Pig Parts.
I have no idea what this movie is about, but you’ve got to love these cheesy Chinese movie posters.
After a blustery ride across the bay, during which a young fellow picked my brains about the Church and global warming, I am back at my room, and must get ready for my talk.
