Playing tourist in my own city, I took a boat ride to Sausalito last Sunday afternoon.
The tourists on the ferryboat were mostly speaking languages other than English. I heard Spanish, French, Hebrew, Russian, German, Tagalog, and who-knows-which-Scandinavian languages.
The best bet for an inexpensive lunch is to get a sandwich at Venezia, an Italian deli on Bridgeway now run by Spanish speakers.
You can take the sandwich to go, walk across the street to the breakwater, and watch people take pictures of each other while framed by a spectacular view.
On Sunday, a Pedro Aldomovar movie broke through into real life as three women delightedly posed for each other in fabulous outfits.
We were afraid that might tip over from the narrow ledge into the bay, especially with their stylish shoes...
...but they seemed fearless...
...and sublimely unselfconscious of everyone else around them.
On the boat ride back, there were young lovers giving off a glow...
...among them my favorite happy couple of the day.
