Adventurous daily life

03/1997
Angelika Last weekend, we went to Berkeley. There we finally got chairs to go with our new dining table. Later we went to the beach in San Francisco, the so-called Baker Beach. It is located within city limits and resembles a motive on a postcard. That’s because there is a white, sandy beach and at the end of the beach rises the majestic Golden Gate bridge. These moments are always very touching to me.

Apart from the poverty you find here, as I told you in the last newsletter, San Francisco is a beautiful city.

This weekend, we had another tiny adventure. Since Michael’s friend and coworker is currently on vacation, he graciously lent us his car, a van. We once used it to go shopping, when suddenly two police cars stopped a another van on a different lane. One of the cops stopped his police car crosswise behind the van and the other one in front of the van, the cops jumped out of their cars and opened the door of the van in an instant and, without saying a word, handcuffed the driver. We were right in front of the scene. You might think it’s a movie scene but it’s reality. Michael assumed merely that we were lucky that the cops didn’t stop our van by accident. Imagine if they would have handcuffed us instead!
