We headed into downtown San Francisco this morning and made a day of it here; including but not limited to, Golden Gate Bridge, Haight Ashbury, Fisherman's Wharf, the Saturday market at the Ferry Building where we ate gourmet hot dogs, oxymoronic as that may sound and took in a few buskers.
Here's an interesting snippet from a bus tour guide pointing out some people tenting in the park.
"They juss let you do anytheen you wahn hee. Are you kideen? You coot stan nakit on nat shtreet corna. Dis iss Safrasisco."
Apparently, tour buses carry signs with simplistic grammar to aid the foreign tourists in the acquisition of the English language. Well, I think we can assume this approach is ineffective, since we've tried it for three or four decades of schoolchildren with less than desirable results. Let's move on.
We'll stay in San Francisco tonight.
Keep going! You are in my prayers.
