View from Ferry Plaza Seafood restaurant. Nobody wanted to sit outside on the day we went, so we got seated pretty quickly. The big secret though was that there are heaters outside.

30 Bus Stop

The 30 line in San Francisco comes down Stockton and ends up at the Caltrain station at 4th and King. The stop at Market Street, right outside the Palomar Hotel, always seems busy. Buses come about every 4 minutes during the day.

Skating in Union Square

People looked like they were having fun, but everyone was a bit unstable. I guess if you're a figure skater, there are better places to skate than the temporary rink outside Macy's.
