SFO Beautiful --- Day 15/28

Walk: Hood

Distance: 4 (cold and windy again) miles


mural by local artist Craig Calderwood

Because Ciwt isn't much of a traveler she hasn't been to SFO Airport's Terminal 1 recently and was surprised - and delighted! - to read the following in our paper:

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, which assigns itself the daunting task of recognizing the “world’s most beautiful” architectural and design achievements, awarded SFO’s Harvey Milk Terminal 1 its top prize for airports at the Prix Versailles World Ceremony in Paris last month.

And she was even more delighted to see pictures of Craig Calderwood's SFO mural in its various happy and beautiful Terminal 1 locations.  Especially fitting because once upon a time the Bay Area  was part of Spain and then Mexico so there is a strong mural tradition here.
