THE MECCA OF 60'S COUNTERCULTURE
Andy Rooney notices cultural shifts with an astute eye. A few years ago he brought to the viewers attention of 60 minutes that suddenly, everyone in America walks around with a bag. Have you noticed this wasn't happening years ago but now men, women, and all children always have a satchel en tote? Well watch out Mr. Rooney, because we have discovered a new trend. Think back many years to the types of people that rode motorcycles. They all were fearless, brash, and always had tattoos. But nowadays, some motorcycle riders are going through midlife crises, aren't so tough, and aren't tatted up. A new counterculture has stolen the tattoo spotlight: city cyclists. New York City has a lot of bicyclists and many wear small hats and are covered in tattoos. Lots live in Williamsburg, ride fixed gear bikes, and sport large framed eye glasses. San Fran has a similar bike culture, and you better believe Whyzell and Katie are part of it.
They gave us the grand tour of the city through the Mission and the Haight, wonderful alternatives to Chinatown and the Fisherman's Wharf, which are tourist traps. We ate delicious Guatemalan food and Burmese food in the Mission. The Burmese food at Yamo, a tiny hole in the wall restaurant served us one of the most delicious meals of our lives for under $13. After lunch we strolled through the Haight and checked out record stores, book stores, and coffee shops. We hiked to the top of Buena Vista Park for a "good view" of the entire city.
But a trip to San Francisco would not be complete without paying homage to Full House. Having paid said homage, we enjoyed Mexican food for dinner, and had a restful evening.
