San Francisco, seek out the National AIDS Memorial Grove in Golden Gate Park.It was conceived in 1989 when the city was in the grip of the AIDS epidemic.
Its aim is to provide a healing sanctuary for those impacted by HIV and the loss of loved ones. It remains a beautifully tended woodland grotto to explore and a place of quiet contemplation.As you find yourself walking beneath the fronds of giant ferns, you’ll spot the many rocks engraved with the names of those lost to AIDS.
