Gay Pride Day ~ 2018

~     

It seems my life has always been run by Chance Operation and manages to take me to unexpected and, usually, delightful places. I had not planned to go to the Gay Pride activities on Sunday but at the last minute I had to run an errand in the city.

After my errand, I took my time over a delightful lunch at, Poc-Chuc, a restaurant in the Mission (link below). As I was already in the city, I had decided to attend the festivities at the Civic Center Plaza so I hopped on BART and headed to the Plaza. BART is always a hoot to ride when there is a major event happening; it brings out the crazy in people.

I had a lot of fun photographing the energized crowd at the event (link below). Everyone was happy to mug it up for me. Everywhere was happiness, everyone was rejoicing and Smirnoff was on stilts. What more could you ask for.

We've come a long way since the days of Zebedy Colt (link below); the road was rough at times but it was always traveled with hope and joy.

Poc-Chuc ~ Mayan Magic & Marvelous Music

Last week I was in the Mission running an errand and tooling down 16th street. I passed Poc-Chuc, a restaurant, I must have gone by a million times but never noticed. For some reason, on this day, I did. A GIANT sign over the front door proudly proclaimed, "Authentic Mayan Cuisine Restaurant"

I walked in, checked the place over and looked at the menu. While I was scanning the menu I listened to the music being played; it was cubias. I love cumbias! One day I'll have to do an article on them.

The name of the restauranat comes from a Mexican dish of meat, usually pork, marinated and cooked over a grill.      

The menu looked pretty interesting and the prices were reasonable, so, I sat down and made myself comfortable.

I had a salbute, an empanada and a Negra Modelo; all for ten bucks! Now, I can't remember when I've been able to find a bargan like that!

The salbute and the empanada were out of this world, and you just can't go wrong with a Negra Modelo from Mexico.

The decore is pretty cool as well; Budweiser never looked lovlier . . . .     






 . . . and it was fun to take selfies!
