We caught the BART back from SFO and found ourselves in the middle of a demonstration! I quickly checked to make sure we hadn't disembarked at Berkeley by mistake, but no: here in sunny, middle-class Walnut Creek a gang of Occupy Wall Street protesters had arrived!
There was a pretty sizable crowd, to be fair, and their shouts joined with the honking of many motorists who wished to share their support (or tell them to get out of the way). There was even a bin of spare placards, but I couldn't persuade our newly-arrived guests to grab some, not even for the blog!
Anyway, we made it home safely through the baying crowd, they're settled in, and enjoying some jet-lagged sleep. We're having a quiet day around the Creek tomorrow. That is, as long as the protesters haven't decided to occupy Macy's. We shall also be making a quick return trip to the airport to sort out a...um...luggage malfunction. I've been banned from putting further details here, to protect the innocent.
Only taking up one BART carriage with their stuff. And most of it is tea and Cadbury's chocolate!
A welcoming committee?
Go on, grab a banner and march, like you did in the 60s!
Could you check your facts before you protest? This is California Boulevard. Main Street is two blocks over.
He's on the phone to his stock broker right now.
