Pillow fight San Francisco on Valentine's Day

There’s nothing more amusing than the sight of hundreds of people pummeling one another with pillows. Every year, San Franciscans bring their fluffiest pillows, preferably the ones that burst open releasing thousands of feathers into the air, and gather in the square in front of the Ferry Building. Between 6:00 pm and 6:15 pm, they engage in a massive pillow fight. I went to the Pillow Fight without a pillow (because it was threatening to rain and I did not want to ruin my pillows). In retrospect, I should have participated. Looks like a lot of fun.

Winter in SF: warm and sunny

A clear warm day in San Francisco. Although it’s January, the weather is perfect. It’s been so warm for the past few days, which is a relief after the cold spell in January. Cold is relative: it does not go below freezing here.
