Back to the Bay for the Antique Fair

Your mom has a passion for antique and vintage stuff, so when she learned of the monthly antique fair in Alameda, we promptly found a time to see it.

The thing took place on an old runway on an airbase that was out of use. The enormous fair took up the entire thing, with dozens of rows of vendors.
Walking through San Francisco later in the day, we had to marvel at this man whose pet cat rode with him on his back! 
On the beach near Cliff House, over a hundred painted, life-size figures had been arranged to duplicate how the crew of Buffalo Bill's Wild Western Show looked taking their group photo in the 19th century on this same spot.
