Comments on: San Francisco: Golden Gate Park http://www.zanthan.com/wordsintobytes/postcards/san-francisco-golden-gate-park The surface and beneath the surface Sun, 10 Apr 2011 15:23:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Margaret http://www.zanthan.com/wordsintobytes/postcards/san-francisco-golden-gate-park/comment-page-1#comment-94 Margaret Sat, 21 Jun 2003 18:38:50 +0000 http://www.zanthan.com/wordsintobytes/uncategorized/san-francisco-golden-gate-park#comment-94 <p> My visit to San Francisco was in winter. I envy you your trip in summertime. I wonder whether you are comparing the gardens at Tatton with the Golden Gate Park rather than the whole of the Tatton parkland much of which is open land for the deer herds. </p> <p class="reply"> Yes, I should have been more clear. The garden proper in Tatton is only a fraction of the whole. The Golden Gate Park is completely open to the public, so there is a lot more of it to wander. But I don't think that's the only reason it seems larger, because I only wandered through a small section of it. Tatton has broad avenues and square garden rooms. The smaller paths in the Golden Gate Park meander in and out of groves and up and down hills. I kept losing myself, in the most pleasant way. At Tatton, you never feel far from civilization. -- mss </p> My visit to San Francisco was in winter. I envy you your trip in summertime.

Yes, I should have been more clear. The garden proper in Tatton is only a fraction of the whole. The Golden Gate Park is completely open to the public, so there is a lot more of it to wander. But I don’t think that’s the only reason it seems larger, because I only wandered through a small section of it. Tatton has broad avenues and square garden rooms. The smaller paths in the Golden Gate Park meander in and out of groves and up and down hills. I kept losing myself, in the most pleasant way. At Tatton, you never feel far from civilization. — mss
