It's a pretty area, and I don't blame you for avoiding the streets, they are hard on your car. The one's in San Juan, Puerto Rico were horrible. Nice shots you got there though! Good of you to give food and drink out to the needy, it really is better than giving out money. It really is sad to see the homeless folks, and many are schizophrenic which is why you see the odd behaviors.
Smart to avoid the odd one early in the morning though, I would do the same! I hope that weather is getting a little warmer. How's that shoulder holding up? I did look into Funwhole but they are a little expensive as I suspected. Once I get some of these LEGO projects out of the way I may dive into one though, and I'll use your referral when I do!
Have a great weekend!
