All about the Environment, Sightseeing and Teaming

How many steps and experiences can one fit into a day .. when you have 15 CSCers anything is possible!

Breakfast time and we got to meet the last 2 who got in late last night- Ricardo and Susannah. Which meant that we could have our 1st full team selfie al biet took a few go’s!

The morning was spent taking in what San Francisco had to offer. So we were entertained, we walked, we experienced, we got to learn about each other.

Some of us got up to leave for a tiki tour of the local area

First stop .. Grace Cathedral. Being drawn to look inside we were all pleasantly surprised. They are all about Art, Children, Youth and Family, providing many different programs for the local community.

Inside we were treated to a walk in a Labyrinth inside the cathedral. Some were keen to give it a go to connect with themselves and to give thanks.

We walked down many steep hills walking past Chinatown to Union Square. This is where I learned about the story of the picture on the Billboard

“Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing something” Colin Kaepernick which provided some food for thought in the media https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/nike-unveils-colin-kaepernick-protest-just-do-it-ad-1139343

Kaepernick created a national firestorm when he began kneeling during the National Anthem in an effort to protest African-American inequality in America.

Since then, a number of players on nearly every NFL team have kneeled or raised a fist during the anthem for the same protest.

Here we pay honour and respect the message!

Our next destination was the Ferry Terminal, who knew what we were walking into, but the San Francisco Rally for Rise for Climate, Jobs and Justice. https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Rise-for-Climate-Jobs-Justice-in-San-Francisco-492769111.html

A very colourful rally and full of great messages, music, dance and passion about an important topic.

After getting to the Ferry Terminal, getting a glimpse of the Golden Gate Bridge, it was time to head back to meet up with Emma our local coordinator from Atlas for more teaming.
