Cable Cars!

Trip to Reno, originally uploaded by James Hemsley.

The next day, we woke up EARLY and walked down to get our MUNI day passes. This would allow us to ride any Cable Car, trolley, train or bus in the city all day long, and we planned to get our $11 worth!!!!

We weren't the only ones with this idea, and there was a line about an hour long at the Cable Car terminal. I noticed, as we were getting in line, that they were sending the cable cars up the line only about 3/4 full (in order to have room to pick people up further up the street). I told James we should just walk up one block and get on there instead of waiting an hour. We did, and hopped right on--no waiting!

Those cable cars were a life-saver on the impossibly steep hills of San Francisco!
