So I live in Berkeley, California now, and during one of my journeys out into my new world today I came across a bike pathway that took me over an 8-lane highway to the marina. The marina has a lot of attractions besides water and boats, including the Casar Chavez Park frequented by many dog-walkers and couples on romantic strolls. Its an odd landscape, scrubby and shrubby; dry bushes and small trees line the side of the hill facing the San Francisco Bay. On the other side, the hill is open, with mowed grass and picnic tables. There are young people and old people flying kits on top of grassy knolls. Thats when I realized that the scene looked remarkably similar to the ending of the recent movie, The Kite Runner, where the main character and his new adopted son are flying a kite. Its weird how I recognized a grassy patch of land, but come to find out, the last scene of the film actually was shot there. Pretty cool.
