San Francisco Saturday

Attractions At Pier 39
Like every other tourist at Pier 39 in San Francisco, we were entertained by the Sea Lions. This spoiled child sea lion wanted his own plank. As soon as he threw one in the "drink" another seemed to know the spot was available and he might have changed his behavior.

The irony of the sea lions "residing" at Pier 39 is a rather interesting. In 1989 when the earthquake struck San Francisco, the sea lions were off the Pacific Coast on a small island. Just prior to the quake, the sea lions swan in to Pier 39 for "safe keeping" and have been entertainment for the many tourists since.
