KORRIKA - San Francisco - Saturday, April 16th, 2011, 10:00am.
We got together in golden gate park on Saturday morning (4/16/2011). There were approximately 50 people - old & young, from here and from Euskal Herria (some are studying here, some are working here, some were from Arrasate (Gipuzkoa) on a month-long project, others were here on an extended vacation). It was a really great ambiance and everyone was happy to participate remotely in korrika. Lots of euskara was heard and celebrated! We ran a lap around the parkgrounds with a bicyclist leading the pack - he had music attached to his bike, so we listened to Gose (see video clip at bottom of this page) and the crowd shouted 'tipi tapa! tipi tapa! Korrika!' Afterwards, an incredible paella was prepared by Juan San Mames. Everyone had a good-sized helping of the delicious dish. People talked, children played and everyone enjoyed the day!! Here are a few pictures...
