San Francisco is interesting to say the least. We’re staying at the Andrews Hotel in downtown San Fran. It’s a one hundred year old hotel that used to be a Turkish Bathhouse. The room is tiny and the bathroom is even tinier. It’s okay though, it’s good to downgrade your living arrangements for a while to appreciate how blessed we are. We have a window we can open, from the seventh floor (the top). The view reminds me of the old Hitchcock movie, Rear Window where Jimmy Stewart sits with his broken leg and watches his neighbors. He saw a murder occur, so far I’ve only seen a lady washing her dinner dishes.
Yesterday Karen and I must have logged five miles walking around town. We ended up walking through Japan Town on our way to an Italian eatery. I could tell we were in Japan Town by all the Japanese store signage. There are a lot of homeless people, some wanting handouts, some just going along with their day. One guy saw a half drank coffee cup sitting on the window sill of a building and opted to finish the drink. I saw another guy pick up a smashed cigarette butt with very little tobacco left, but there must have been something on it. Another guy’s sign just said “why lie, I need a beer”. There are a lot of people here in San Francisco downtown area. It would be an interesting place to live.
