Monterey Fisherman's Wharf mask test (# 0538)

Though some would describe it as a tacky tourist trap, my first introduction to Fisherman’s Wharf was when I was stationed in Monterey in 1967, and I’ve enjoyed it ever since – as long as I can visit when it isn’t jammed with crowds. That, ‘jammed with crowds,’ was going to be my first test of Monterey’s response to the pandemic – I was expecting it to be overcrowded of tourists who were paying no heed to virus safety precautions. I was surprised, thought, parking when I got there was easy and the city was were very clear about their expectations. So, what about the actual tourists?
