I recently traveled to San Francisco for some meetings and found myself with a half day to kill. My　　　 were to watch a football game or the America’s Cup sailing races. Or I could get lost.

After a terribly long line 　　　 the car rental centre, I was free.　　　 I disappeared into the fog and clouds 　　　 the Pacific Coast Highway and headed south with 　　　 no destination in mind.

I 　　　 through tunnels carved out of the mountains and stopped at a few state beaches; at 　　　 , I watched a wedding out on the cliffs（悬崖）among the crashing waves.

Back in the car, I continued toward San Gregorio, a town that you can easily 　　　 . I know because I was right through it and 　　　 on a pine-tree-bordered ribbon of tar (焦油) that felt like it would go on forever.

A few people moved around 　　　 the San Gregorio General Store, smoking cigarettes and talking about the motorcycles they’ve owned 　　　 the years. Inside, I found a bar with 　　　 , a guitar duo（二重奏）, and, of course, a 　　 store.

I ordered a beer in the crowded bar, 　　　 a seat, and watched the guitarists jam out. Then I congratulated them, threw a couple of wrinkled (皱的) 　　　 in their bucket, and walked back out into the world.

The day could have been so different: crowded into a 　　　 or bar half-watching sports. But this was much more 　　　 . Hours before, I was on a flight with the masses, going through the air sickness. Then I was out on my own, 　　　 an unexpected and unrepeatable experience.

I learned 　　　 that day: don’t be afraid to get lost – on purpose 　　 – and have zero expectations. It will be good for you. I promise.

The San Francisco Giants added a special pitcher（投球手）for the day. It was small—yet fierce—Hailey Dawson, who has a 3D-printed hand.

The energetic 8-year-old from Nevada was invited to throw out the first pitch at the Giants game on Sunday. Dawson was born with Poland syndrome（综合症）, a disorder in which affected individuals are born with missing or underdeveloped muscles on one side of the body. It affected her hand.

With a traditional prosthetic（假肢）potentially costing thousands of dollars, Hailey’s mom, Yong Dawson turned to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for help. She emailed UNLV engineering, and they accepted the challenge. Brendan O’Toole, chairman of the mechanical engineering department, said he and his team had got a lot of requests, “but this one was different.” They got to work using a 3D-printer.Several prototypes（原型）and fittings later, Dawson got her first hand about four years ago.

Hailey’s mother said the hand had given her daughter a wonderful lift. “When she puts this robotic hand on, it changes her personality and confidence level,” Yong Dawson told CBS San Francisco. “I love seeing that. I just wanted her to have an even playing field.”

When she arrived at AT&T Park on Sunday, Hailey got to hang out with players in the shelter at the side of the sports field. They even let her try on their World Series rings.

Using her 3D-printed hand, Dawson threw out the perfect first pitch. Then with a wave and a smile, she headed into the stands to cheer on her newfound friends on the Giants.
