day 4 San Francisco - The Mission District

                      Today we used the underground system - we found some great mosaics in the underground.



we headed for the mission district - the latino quarter.

                        the Mission District has about 200 murals which depict everday life and are often politically inspired. in the 1970's the city paid rebellious young people to create works of art in public places in order to tackle issues of crime and deprivation.

       The Mission District is the Latino area of the city and a project that started about 40 years ago has  
                rejuvenated the area by decorating it with wonderful and powerful murals.
