Here's my second poem from long ago and far away:
2. Floating free
I see the shadows of
the future in that white
island which is San Francisco
From Tiburon I watch
the misty sea
edging south over San Francisco
and the island of the city
is truly floating free at last
Love and peace - Wozza

This post is our final stop in the return to 2007 and our first trip to San Francisco.
In the wash up after the wedding dances we went to the zoo, the Hard Rock Cafe, a diner with everyone to watch the Golden State Warriors, and then it was back to New Zealand, leaving our hearts in San Francisco!

And so to the wedding of 2007 - Jesse Rowbotham and Samantha Purdy in Marin County at Jesse's mum's stunning place with views of Mount Tamalpais and the bay.
Americans have some different traditions when it comes to weddings, such as a pre Wedding get together called a Rehearsal Dinner. Of course, I thought this meant a rehearsal of the wedding - who stands/sits where, who says what and so on. Nope.
Instead, both sides of the family mix and mingle over drinks and a meal in a semi-formal fashion. An ice-breaker, really.

Wie Geht's?
While waiting for whanau to arrive, Alcratraz and Exploratorium were a couple of highlights on that trip to San Francisco for Fanfa's wedding.
Jesse and Samantha showed Jade, Jacky and me around the Exploratorium and then Jade came with us to Alcatraz. What an unforgettable experience that was.
