Beachhead
Finally! I’m in San Francisco, for at least two weeks, in what should be my beachhead for a longterm stay!
No offense to the big apple, but San Francisco is just so much better. If New York is Mexico City, San Francisco is Guadalajara: prettier, classier, cleaner, ampler, prettier peopled…
I’m amazed by the huge number of Asians everywhere (Asian women never fail to transfix me…), by the opulence and beauty of the city, by the overwhelming wealth and retail saturation of America (one forgets it so easily in the 3rd world), by the beggars, by my cool hostel, by how it has rained all day long, by how the swankest part of town (Union Square) can be right next to the seediest one (Tenderloin), by how stereotypically rural Mexican where most of my flightmates (rarely does one get to see so many cowboy hats, boots, and rebozos), by how happy I am…

Hey bro! Glad to hear you’re settled.
Mother & I are very proud. I started translating your post to her but the second you pic finished loading she was transfixed by his oh-so-handsome son and stopped listening.
Un beso! Te quiero

Congrats! Haven’t been to NY, but SF did sduce me. Lots of nature, cool buildings, walkways and parks, it makes the city and the people all seem healthy and classy. Enjoy your stay! If you have a chance go to Berkeley (Telegraph Ave, in particular) I think you’ll enjoy it very much.
