In the summer of 2023,
I found myself
Back in San Francisco
My homeland.

Last visited pre-covid,
2018 ,
.

Touring the city
With my Korean in-laws.

We stopped in Haigh Ashbury
Took photos
Wearing flowers
In our hair.

Our video
Of our San Francisco adventures,
Particularly our hiking
The seven hills
and driving across
the seven bridges
And having acroissant
And coffee in North Beach
Became a surprise TikTok hit.

Note: I grew up in Berkeley, visiting every other year since I left in 1979, I found San Francisco is still a fascinating city to visit, it is not the dystopian nightmare that Fox News portrays, but too expensive, with too many homeless and too many street crimes./ Note there are only five bridges over the Bay, but there are plans to build at least two more. There are seven major hills in the city.

Use in your story or poem the following - bold these words for tomorrow's judge:
