"The Crown Jewel"

San Francisco, United States

Welcome reception at City Hall. Apparently there are no pigeons to poo on the city's "Crown Jewel" as they installed a hawk to scare them off.
Sycamore trees out the front are trimmed and ready to burst forth in the coming weeks.
More homeland security - metal detectors, guys in uniforms with shiny badges.
String quartet. Fancy food. Duomo. Not quite the same America I will see in the coming weeks.
Quaint US custom No.2 - like their driving habits, even the escalators are round the wrong way.
