Sunday
25th June
We decided to check out the Sony
Multiplex Cinema just south of Market Street...
...unfortunately, the whole street was cordoned off for the 30th Annual San
Francisco Gay Pride march !
It was an enormous parade
- seemed to go on for ever !
There were ambulances, police cars, fire trucks and lots of home made floats
- really spectacular !
We finally found a Muni entrance that allowed us to get to the south side and
slipped into this bar that sells outsized Margueritas 8-)
Must be the local police bar - these guys were having a good time !
Didn't come out quite as well as expected, but this display gave the times around
the world with a running mannequin alongside.
Monday
26th June
Lori's 50s Diner had this working original playing rock and roll 45s !
Tuesday
27th June
Caught this guy painting the pavement 8-)
(He's another street performer, really)
Decided
to try the Fish Restaurant at Fisherman's Wharf this evening...
Who's this gorgeous bird, then ? 8-)
The view from the restaurant over the bay as the light gradually disappears.
You laughing at me ? 8-)
This was the nearest we could get to Haddock. Apparently it's called Halibut
8-)
Bet you couldn't do this !
(Took Peter ages to balance the salt cellar on a cork
long enough to take a picture)
Wednesday
28th June
Lori's 50s Diner for brunch today.
They have a collection of old (working) radios - amazing place !
Thursday
29th June
Out and about in San
Francisco again today...
The 'bumper car' in the centre of the photo is what the traffic police use to
get around !
Check out this cool planter with a miniature 'Golden Gate Bridge' !
Oh no, not another Mustang picture 8-)
This huge palm tree is growing out of the courtyard of this apartment building
!
Friday
30th June
Well OK, it's another Mustang, but this one's convertible...
...and it's a lovely green colour 8-)
Saturday
1st July
Looks like there's more than one
Lori's 50s Diner...
This one's got a car, sliced laterally in half pinned to a wall - cool !
Also, has a biplane hanging from the ceiling !
...and lots of 50s memorabilia !
