We traveled through the Art district and China Town. The sidewalks are full of venders selling their handcrafted wares…and many people buying them. We stopped for a break and to get a bite to eat at Pier 17. There we saw 2 very old sailing ships which are now museum pieces. The Peking is a German sailing ship from 1911 that carried cargoes from Europe around Cape Horn when modern steamers used the Panama Canal. We traveled through the Art district and China Town.
