On the same day- 02 Aug, after visitng Twin Peaks and then the Ocean Beach, we went to Golden Gate Garden,to have our lunch . In the morning ,before we started ,Sai had made some excellent Vegetable Pulao . He is a wonderful cook incidentally and we sat down in the lawns of the garden to enjoy our lunch.It was quite hot and many people like us were already there having lunch like us in the shades of the trees. The atmospere was very plesant and we really enjoyed our lunch even though it had become a little cold .
The Golden Gate Garden is another one of the picturesque sights of the city.They maintain the gardens and the flowers so well . There is a Conservatory of flowers located there where they have nurseries and maintain the right type of temperatures and humidity for the plants to grow. The well pedicured lawns and the well kept trees make you feel as though you are in a different world altogether. The piece de resistance however are the flowers . They are in so many wonderous colours and so beautiful . Once again I could see the majesty of the Creator .
The flowers in the Garden reminded me of the days almost 20 years back in New Delhi ,when we used to drive down the Chanakyapuri Diplomatic Enclave . Almost 4 to 5 Kms of drive and on the center of the road there used to be such myraid colours of flowers of so many types . I often used to wonder as to how any artist could ever match the shades of colour which the flowers had . Whether any painter would ever be able to recreate the colours which the Creator had ordained and I used to marvel at God's creation and his majesty.
Swami says "Who provides food to sustain the tadpole in the crevices of a rock? Who provides water and manure and looks after the growth of trees which grow on stones in mountainous regions ?Who has painted the several colours on the plumes of a peacock ?Howsoever great painter one may be he cannot give such natural colours to his paintings. What a great artist God is ! How beautiful is the red beak of a green parrot! Who has created it ?Can scientists understand this?They think this is only some sort of a natural penomenon.It is not so.Everything happens by the Will of God.Nothing happens in this World without His will !We should develop such firm faith. 
From Golden Gate Garden we went to Novato where Stephanie and Betty were waiting for us .We went to a Ready Garment Shop and gave our measurements for suits for Sai's wedding . From there we went to Chevy's a Mexican restaurant and had some excellent vegetarian food.A long day overall but exciting in many ways .
