Bay to Breakers
San Francisco is a city well known for its excentricities, and it’s never more apparent than during Bay to Breakers, a race for which tens of thousands of participants run from the Bay to the breaking waves of the Pacific wearing colorful costumes or Eve’s outfit. For the past two years, I found myself flying back from Europe on the day of the event (third Sunday of May), and could not participate. Never two without three, and this year would have been the same, should I have not decided to postpone my business trip. So today, May and I joined a crew of a dozen, painted ourselves in gold and wore purple capes so that we would look like some kind of aliens. We also made sure to carry loads of beer in baby strollers, and to leave a barbecue set in a car parked along the way. What a blast! I cannot wait for next year’s race.
