Sunday was marathon day and so we went to the finish line
at the point where fast runners were going to finish the half marathon
and watched the runners come in
as well as the fallen signs
and the cheering crowd
as runners passed
and the Bay bridge stood oblivious
while the race proceeded
until we saw our 3 favorite runners
and bypassed the Claire squares
on our way to Giordano Brothers
where I did not do well at recording the pictures on the wall
before our beer arrived
along with sandwiches.
After lunch we stopped at City Lights and so had to record Jack Kerouac
and the alleyway
along with a memory of him
as Suzanne and I made our way back to our hotel
stopping to record the sight where the Pony Express was.
