Loading ...I had sold my business and the children were grown and I decided to see the Country and the fabled California .I spent 6 weeks traveled from San Diego to San Francisco with a side trip to Lake Tahoe.It was all very beautiful .While in San Diego I made a side trip to Tiajuana ..my first visit to a Third world Country .There were children in the streets selling life savers candy one piece at a time for a penny.I thought why arent they in school ? I realized they dident go to school ! Women with Back Paks doing the same except the back Paks carried infants ..all day like a Papoose while they sold trinkets . I spent 6 weeks touring a beautiful State that had some strange contrasts .When I got to San Francisco I made my way to the hippie Haight Ashbury area and there I saw Two female teanagers living the Hippie experience sleeping in a doorway of a retail store .I overheard one say “its not so bad if you dont mind the LICE ! I thought why live here ? Whats so glamorous about being a Hippie ? I thought to myself ! i always wondered what became of them !.
Some things are made from legends and in reality are pitiful l ! I guess there were lessons learned that day ! Maybe I was the one learning the lessons,instead of them .It seems like those that believe the talk about how Glamorous hippie life was got what they deserved .
i was a New jersey ,New York type ..not prone to believe bullshit and TALKERS . Maybe those two are still there as 40 year old Protesters never Trump types ! Somethings never change !
