Afternoon Amble

Grant Ave. had very light traffic.

After several meetings in the Financial District, it was a perfect afternoon for a walk up to Chinatown.

Tourists chattered away in their native tongues; Asians were nattily dressed, while Europeans and Americans tended to be attired more comfortably in shorts and T-shirts.

Everyone was taking pictures with their phones; they fearlessly snapped away standing in the middle of streets, which, except for Broadway, were largely free of cars.  A word to the wise visitor: tour San Francisco during the weekday.
