When Kalinda and Mike came to town

Kalinda and Mike came this past weekend to visit us. They got in on Friday and we hung out, had some vino (during the day!), did some shopping and went out for a bit that night. Saturday, we woke up and they wanted to go to the Farmer's Market at the Wharf. To get there, you have to go through the market that's there every day. We took them to our favorite stand:

Flat bottles are bottles that are flattened. I don't know why, but there they are!

Kalinda checked out some of the goods the peeps were peddling


Mike and LP checking the peeps out







I did not get to see the "Battle for the Best Burger" but it sure sounded delicious



This guy sold poems. You tell him a topic, any topic you want, and he would write a poem. I wanted my poem to be about poems.


All this produce was from California. Just in case you forgot.
Ghandi

This guy was shucking fresh oysters. It is really fascinating to watch people shuck an oyster. It would take me forever to do, I think.
Next, we walked down the pier towards Pier 39.

Guys breakdancin' on the pier. They weren't very good- but don't tell them I said that!
The street performers are really fascinating to me. I now think the clown guy is trying to tell silver man about how things go on the street. I later saw him yelling at another street man.
This poor kid was clearly not into being painted all silver with his dad. His dad was laying out how the performance was going to go down and the kid looked like he'd rather be doing anything else.
Gold man always dances to J-Tim. He looks just like him too- all gold and frilly and such.
I love trying on hats
Notice who's lounging on the right side of this?


Walking towards the sea lions!



Next, we headed over to Golden Gate Park. When we walked up, we saw a tranny fortune teller!




See the kite in the middle? It's as close as my lens would get!




It was a fun Saturday. Needless to say, we were exhausted when we finished our trip. We went home to rest for a bit because Sunday was..............PRIDE!!!!
