Bay To Breakers

As we were going to church yesterday we encounted an unexpected difficulty: The Bay to Breakers run. One would think that a minor 7 mile foot race would not be a huge obstacle to getting to church. And one would be wrong. The route bisects the city and forms an insurmountable barrier between the freeway off-ramp (9th Street exit off of 101) and Holy Trinity Cathedral. So we made a bunch of ilegal turns (to avoid colsed roads) and made our way to the Mission of the Synaxis of the Holy Theotokos (in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood) for Divine Liturgy. It was neat. I got to hear the Apostol reading in the toungue of the Eriteans. Very cool.
