San Francisco: Sidharth’s eye-view

At the end of a week-long  summer camp  organisers of Camp Galileo at Danvile C A  showcased the work done by schoolboy participants. Parents were invited  to  the show,  ask questions and to  express their  opinion. The week’s theme was San Francisco, and   the campers were given a  sense of  life in the city, its history and were told about  places of interest. They were encouraged to draw and build cardboard and paper models of San Franciso landmarks.
Sidharth made  models of the San Francisco cable car, the Golden Gate Bridge, and  a  painting of Lombard Street, which is more widely known as the croocked street. What is it that he would want to do the most, on a visit to San Francisco ? 'Walk across Golden Gate Bridge', said Sidharth. Till a couple of years back, his most favorite activity in the city was running around in Union Sq. chasing pigeons. He didn't fancy traveling in cable car after trying it once .It made too much noise, he said. Sidharth preferred taxi cab,not only because it made virtually no noise, but also because he doesn't have to sit in a car-seat, traveling in city cabs.
