What a day...

This is Fleet Week in San Francisco. We were invited yesterday to a friend's place who has a big terrace on top of her flat overlooking the Bay. We ate and drank and watched the Blue Angels and Canada's Snowbirds and other flying teams perform. Unbelievable. A gorgeous breezy sunny day, a view stretching from the Bridge to Alcatraz and beyond, a thousand boats out on the glittering water (Including the S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien, always a treat for me), the hills of Angel Island and Marin and Sonoma as a backdrop....and it's all just a slightly-cramped stage for dozens of high-performance jets.

My picture is poor, but the world's best cameraman couldn't have captured the scene.
