The two on this side of the sign have suitcases, so they're going somewhere. If they were locals going out of town, they wouldn't need to look at the map - they'd know the way. Ergo, they're foreigners coming into town.
They've obviously flown in because there is an airline tag on the woman's case. You can tell by her expression that she's the fussy type, and will take the tag off as soon as she reaches her destination. The way she is nevously clutching her handbag to her side suggests she's not used to large towns, so she's definitely a country girl. This is borne out by her unfashionable flared trousers, which don't fit very well. The shadows suggest it's about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and (assuming they got a morning flight), that means they've probably flown for about four hours, so they've come from Iowa or somewhere. They're not going to stay at an hotel because, if they were, they would have gone straight there in the airport limo, and not had to wander about the streets. Clearly they're not going to stay with a friend, because a friend would have met them at the airport. Their cases are far bigger than they would need for a weekend, so they're not going home for a while. All things considered, and judging by the guy's haircut, they're probably part of a missionary organisation, and have come to SF for a training course prior to being sent to Colombia to convert the people of the Canoniko tribe. Of course, I could be wrong. John PS: Nice pic, Marnie. ========== Thanks. ROFL. Marnie aka Doe ROFLMAO.
