    Getting TO/AROUND: Actually a moving landmark in san Francisco, Cable Cars, living relics of the early 1900's, are in the imaginary of many people come to this town.
    It appears obvious that a trip on them cannot be missed BUT beware!
    The main problem here is the ridiculous wait of about one hour I had in Ghirardelli Square to get this.
    A looong looong queue, and the officers are very slow in moving those cars.

    Getting TO/AROUND: See this picture? It was "our" Cable Car, with the officers turning it to leave again.
    Just imagine that when I started waiting, the sun was still shining in the sky...
    If you have time to spend, anyway, it is a funny experience to live.
    The driver was a LARGE man with noisy voice that seemed Captain Achab to me.
    The Car goes very slowly and it is actually more an attraction than a way to move in San Francisco
