The SF Observer
Further observations on life in northern California:
Pedestrian traffic: People here walk like they drive in Montreal. Maybe it's because there are so many tourists, and as a rule, tourists behave like lemmings. There is definitely a disconnect between the brain and the feet. Two simple words to live by: shoulder check.
Retail: The retailers here seem to be more interested in singnig me up for credit than in helping me navigate their merchandise. Only one store, Nordstrom's, actually had a salesperson approach me who wanted to know if she could be of any help. Unfortunately, everything was too expensive for me to be able to reward her excellent customer service with a purchase.
Overall, my trip is actually proving quite pleasant. Business at the exhibit is a bit slow, but the people who do drop by are all very nice and seem to be genuinely interested in what we have to say.
This evening, we're going to take a little trip down to Fisherman's Wharf and hopefully eat some seafood, and pick up some fun postcards.

Baby Girl got your postcard! She says thank you. She said it tasted really good too!
