    Getting TO/AROUND: San Francisco's transport is called Muni (Municipal Transit Agency) this combines the buses and cable cars.

    The cable car is definitely a must. There are about 3 different routes, and the scenery as you get to the top of the hill and see the bay in front of you is magical.

    The cable car we seemed to use the most ran from Market Street to the Wharf and at either end there was always big queues. In fact we waited over an hour in the Wharf area to get the cable car back to Market Street and the Bay area can get really chilly, and this was in August!

     Come back to California. You missed Santa Barbara or you just were so overwhelmed you couldn't find to words to write about it. This summer has been wonderful, while all of the USA is sweltering in heat, we have a cool marine air.

     Just do not eat the salad. I had a big black bug in mine, and the Mgr. says sometimes produce comes in with bugs, but it is beyond their control. LOL

     This brings back memories of my own family childhood summer vacations to California. I think you've motivated me to bring out the old photo albums and make use of my scanner!
