When John and Susan visited San Francisco they thought they would enjoy a romantic dinner for two.
But they didn't realise they had chosen a table in the middle of a mini Israeli-Palestinian war zone!
However, this friendly couple from Santa Cruz were unfazed last night as they sat in a hotel restaurant almost opposite the Israeli Consulate.
'We're eating calmly away, disregarding the rest of the world!' quipped John, as only a thin pane of glass separated him and Susan
from a seething tide of loud-chanting, banner-waving, drum thumping protesters decrying Israel's action in Gaza.
More than that, as the pics show, John and Susan virtually sat in on the incident of police questioning a drummer over the use of his hammer!
What did they think of the protest?
'Obama's got enough on his plate,' said John, unaware of his unintentioned pun. 'It's like a movie, one thing after another...the economic crisis, the Middle East blowing up...'
But then he reverted to a positive point.
'At least he (Obama) believes in diplomacy rather than shooting from the hip!'
And at least, too, with such a large slice of San Franciscan life, they were not suffering from indigestion.
A Happy and Peaceful New Year, John and Susan!
