We were join by K's sister and cousin. Carpooled to the Mission, where crowd had already gathered. We squeeze our way between the people, got watch the parade from there.
This parade is a celebration of various Latin culture. I saw dancers in colorful Brazilian carnival costumes, doing the samba, people performing capoeira, Caribbean steel drum bands and several Mexican dance. The weather on this Memorial Day was too cold for the costumes many of the dancers were wearing, but they marched on bravely.
From Mission, we stopped for lunch at San Tung #2 in the Sunset district. K had invited a few more friends and we all enjoy a good lunch. See my review on Yelp for more details.
After lunch, the guys decided to check out a bar, while me and the ladies went to the Jewelery exhibition. I am not too familiar with jewelry as an art form, but the exhibits were very beautiful. There were some jewelry, clearly of the Art Nouveau style with its organic forms and the more stylistic art deco styles. The ladies were discussing what it would take for the significant others to buy them jewelry, while I wisely stayed out of those conversations:)
The ladies and me in the Legion of Honor museum ground. Sorry boys, all these fine ladies are taken!Dinner was at Kan Zaman Cafe for Middle Eastern food with Belly Dancing. Check out my review on Yelp for more details.
An enjoyable Memorial day!
