Travel Tip #1: La Taqueria

When traveling, try hard to keep away from westernized restaurants and experience the culture through street food.  Your body will hate you for it, but your taste buds will scream with excitement!

Order.

Because we are not in the land, we must take two nights to perform the Seder, just in case we miss the date.

We eat the bread of affliction, shed tears induced by horseradish, and welcome our ancestors to join us at the table.

We write poetry late into the night, pecking at the keys, making sure they don’t stick.  Reversing if necessary to cover up bits of empty space that missed a dab of ink.  Trying to conceptualize and plan your thoughts from the day and bring them upon paper is futile as your brain runs faster than your fingers can keep up with.  Just let it flow…  

Each key has it’s individual weight and structure.  When you forget how each key hits, one can touch down a bit too hard, causing the paper to be excavated.  I felt uncomfortable about this at first, hoping for an immaculate piece of paper in the end, but I soon realized, it just makes way for  beautiful constellations when held up to candle light.

Between the Wires

San Francisco has an enormous woven web of wires hovering high above the streets, helping to make the city move.  Even though I am proud to live in a city that is so eco forward, emission free transportation has little to do with beauty.  It may be the one drawback from completely enjoying a full-on blue sky in the city.

This morning I came across a different set of wires, swinging from building to building interconnecting a small street in North Beach.  From these wires, a bit of nostalgia lingered into my thought bank, and left me with a feeling I can only compare to losing myself down small streets in europe.  If only for that moment, wires flinging under the blue sky, were not the worst thing that could impede my view in this city.
