We told our friends to meet us at the
Queen Wilhelmina Tulip Garden in Golden Gate Park last Sunday.
It was a foolish choice because seemingly everyone else in San Francisco was meeting friends there.
The signage now says "Queen Wilhelmina Garden," excising the word "Tulip," possibly because somebody has decided there will be diversity in the annual spring planting.
We quickly made our way to Ocean Beach on the cold, windy day and stumbled across an amazing display of athleticism...
...from a contingent of kitesurfers...
...who were somehow harnessing both the winds and the waves...
...at times defying gravity as they flew into thin air above the sea.
I have never been coordinated or fit enough in this lifetime to even think about attempting something like this...
...but our companions were athletic mountain bikers in their 50s who gazed at the extreme sports action longingly.
