went to fisherman's wharf ....
this is where i used to disembark from ferry in 1969, walk
the sidewalks where artists were selling their stuff, sat on
this green expanse of grass to smoke a doobie with others ....
not many people "hanging out" these days, tho ...

as you sit on the lawn and look out toward the
bay and alcatraz, you see the big wooden ships
anchored ... you can pay to tour ....

in the afternoon, you can watch the fog roll in through
the golden gate and over marin county (sausalito to be exact)

and here are the steps at aquatic park, there used to
be groups filling the steps, making music with guitars,
harmonicas, jugs, bottles, drums, etc ... only one
lonely person there on this day .....

Quote :
Ms. Burch began her career on the streets of San Francisco where, as a 20-year-old divorced mother, she sold homemade jewelry to support her two children. "I found metal in the junkyard and hammered it out on the back of a frying pan."

Those designs, soberly colored necklaces and earrings of beads and metal, were replaced in the early '70s when she took her designs to China and had them crafted in multicolored cloisonne. The Burch phenomenon took off from there.

there is a major cable car turn-around there, and the
