Pride Weekend Part 1: June 26th

 June 26th
The morning began with a Burn workout (we are going three times a week) and a trip to a few garage sales. Later in the afternoon we decided to check out a new art market that I had read about on Fecal Face (terrible name but good website). Market SF (Blue Macaw, 2565 Mission) turned out to be really great with adorable knitted toys, great t-shirts, and some cute art. It was closing when we arrived so we didn't hang out to long and decided to wander around the Mission a bit more. On our way along Valencia, we happened upon the Clarion Alley Mural Project. I will do a whole post about murals soon, but this place was wonderful even though it reeked of urine. As we were heading home we noticed that the streets had been closed off by the police and everyone had gathered on a nearby corner; of course I wanted to go over to investigate. The Dyke March was just starting and Lots of fun. Boobs and more boobs with people hanging out of windows to see all of the excitement. A friend of mine from the de Young was walking in the parade and we were swept into it as well. It was a very fun way to start pride weekend.
