Olympic Torch in San Francisco
Tomorrow the Olympic torch will make its one and only stop in San Francisco on its North American tour before heading back to China. Why not Los Angeles or New York? I don’t know. But you have to admit that San Francisco is the coolest city in America.
The torch arrived at SFO around 4 am this morning, and is probably lost in baggage claim as we speak. Although, I would imagine that it was probably on a long and torturous British Airways flight. I feel sorry for its long journey. It was probably subject to either sitting next to a stinky European person or locked up in cargo handling surrounded by pounds of sticky cheese. Either way, sounds like a horribly long trip.
As for the actual torch relay tomorrow, it should be rather cool. I mean, of course, the whole 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing will always be surrounded with controversy, but you have to admit that having the torch make its only North American appearance in San Francisco is pretty awesome.
