Found this Hippy Bus today in Fisherman's Wharf. I think they were using it as a tour bus.

I like the chained off look - maybe I should employ those to keep people from opening their doors into the sides of the bus... _________________ Xargaret

What a coincidence you from So Cal and me from Portland spotted busses yesterday in SF. I had breakfast with Tcash near Fisherman’s Wharf. He spotted two bay campers while looking for parking.
EB, no price on the bus. Just a phone number. _________________ Keep on Busin'

Funny. You braved the weather also. We actually had brunch at a place called Sweet Maple in Japanese town, then went down to Fisherman's Wharf because the kids wanted to see the wax museum, and some of the ladies wanted to hit Ghirardelli square. We had gone to Alcatraz on Friday, and had dinner on Pier 39.
So even with the weather, we had a good time. Back to SoCal late last night, and back to work this afternoon. |
