Here i am, Frisco




The fog is everywhere right now in Frisco. It´s 21.55 pm (local time), there in Bilbao nine hours less. Well this advventure has just begun. And i´ve been in so many places in almost 24 hours that is incredible. By the way, i´m writing from my hotel in Chinatown and in my laptop is singing Miss li,, which is not a girl from Asia or something like that is a recommendation from a good friend of mine, mss June Fernández, a follower of this blog. Thanks a lot, June. This girl -Linda Carlsson had been a singer her whole life, exploring everything from rock to blues, jazz, Broadway, even opera and metal, and performing in a variety of shows and bands, but it wasn't until 2006 that the then-24-year-old Swede launched her career in earnest, transforming herself into Miss Li and embarking on a string of releases that was notably prolific and not a little precocious (thanks Sopotify- sounds great and awesome. Yes, she is swedish, not chinese. I´ll recommend to all of you her album "Dancing the whole way home", with all her hits, yeah!!!!


And Frisco is great too. Just 24 hours and i´ve been in so many places as all of you can imagine. Yes, takin´ photos to the Cablecars, hanging around in Castro, High Ashbury, Chinatown. And tasting a glass of wine in Francis F.Coppola´s restaurant and later a concert in a small pub near chinatown with live music: a bit of blues with a singer (not too young) that sounds a bit as if Janis Joplin hadn´t passed away.

And this year San Francisco celebrates 40 years of hope, remembering Harvey Milk (i´ve told you about this man in this blog). It´s gonna be this weekend (26th and 27th), because next 28th is Gay´s movement Day worldwide. Enjoy it, even if you are heterosexual or metrosexual. It doesnt matter, i´m talkin´about rights, wich is very important nowedays. Don´t you think so? This is Harvey Milk:

    Hi boy, all you talk about sounds great! Josu, my son, is preparing our one-week-stay in London together (and alone the two of us!!) next July while the girls are in the English camp. The boy is doing a good searching job-daily sightseeing itinerary, underground lines...-
    It is that I can get lost in my own bathroom, so it is nice to have somebody able to find the way. It makes me feel safer and sounder, jeje
    Ok my dear friend go on enjoying all you have around, though I have no doubts whatsoever you will
    cheers
    Karmele and family
