San Fran Pier 39

After lunch we had a couple of hours to shop. Pier 39 is quite an experience. I have never seen a more diverse crowd, a true melting pot of people. The mood was quite good. There were quite a few street performers. Most everyone was civil. There were a few idiots. One guy hid behind a trashcan and jumped out to scare people. He seemed a little deranged. And I saw one beggar. He had a sign that said “Why lie…I just want a beer”. It was pretty hard to feel sorry for him. I wondered what it would be like in the summer, probably even crazier!
