Like a 1980’s broken tape recorder stuck on loop, the gazillion attractions and activities of The Golden Gate Park in San Francisco scream out to me to go explore. This “San Franciscan” park has attractions that call out to all personalities. The Flower Conservatory and Japanese Tea Garden call out to all nature lovers, while the California Academy of Sciences and the de Young Museum call out to the academic lovers. My calling, however, comes from Stow Lake, and Strawberry Hill.
The man-made lake with an island in the middle, better known as Stow Lake, is filled with colorful pedal boats, a waterfall, and a Chinese pavilion. I would love to be able to enjoy a picnic at the park on one of the eight picnic tables they have. There are many restaurants and cuisines to choose from.

The legend states that a long ago at Stow Lake, there was a lady who was walking her baby in a stroller. After a while, the lady got tired and rested on the bench next to another woman by the lake, with the stroller next to her. While she was sitting, the stroller rolled away unnoticed and fell into the lake. The lady noticed her baby was gone and panicked right away. She walked around Stow Lake all day and night asking people, “Have you seen my baby?” When the night was over, she went into the lake looking for her baby and ever since, she hasn’t been seen again. It is rumored that if someone goes to Stow Lake at night, weird occurrences take place. Stories have been told that the lady comes up from the lake, or the statue in her honor comes to life. Another rumor that circulates is if someone says “White lady, white lady, I have your baby” three times, the lady will appear. She’ll ask you, “Have you seen my baby?” If you say yes, she’ll haunt you and if you say no, she’ll kill
