San Francisco

Does this bush look at all out of place next to the garbage can?
It's the BUSH MAN!! I highly, highly recommend looking for him if you're ever in San Francisco. Of all the street performers I've seen (which isn't saying much), he must be the funniest one yet. After seeing him in action the first time, we over heard some people ask "How does a guy wake up one day and decide to spend his life sitting behind a few branches scaring people." Hmm...Maybe it's the big wad of cash I saw him counting later in the day. Whatever his motivation, it's absolutely hilarious to watch him scare people and the reaction he gets from them.

Throughout the day, we walked by several people holding signs asking for money, the best of which were:
  • Cash Needed for Alcohol Research
  • Cash for Weed
  • Spaire Change Pleese

They almost convinced me to give them money...Almost:)

The boys' excitement of the day came from the jelly fish, pirate ship, and porcupine fruit we saw. Josh's excitement came from marching everyone straight up hill 15 blocks(Check out the pics where the bay is way down the street..we didn't get up there by trolly). My excitement came from Chinatown and watching all the people. It sure felt like we just stepped into China.

Enjoy our pictures.

I'm thinking of dropping out of Georgetown and becoming a bush. It may be cheaper and less work (although I haven't done a full fledged scientific calculation).

I enjoyed the musical interlude!
