    Getting TO/AROUND: Cable Car transportation in San Franciso are both fun and inexpensive.The cost is $3.00 per person one way and $6.00 per person return. I paid for our return tickets ahead of time so as not to have to wait in line again on the way back. While I got in line for the tickets, Hans got in line for the cable cars, which were quite long on the day we went. the tickets were on a collector series card telling about the history of the cable car which you can keep as a souvenir. The conducter simply takes the part of the ticket which says $3.00. All in all it was a fun way to get around San Francisco.

    Getting TO/AROUND: While in SanFrancisco we wanted to take a ferry to Sausalito. The BLUE AND GOLD FLEET takes you there. It is located at Pier 41, Fisherman's Wharf. The prices are $7.25 per person one way and $14.50 per person return. It was an awesome ride to Sausalito as you pass Alcatraz and you have beautiful views of Golden Gate Bridge.

     In 1990 I and a few friends travelled on Highway 1 from San Fancisco to LA, and I especially remember the beauty at Big Sur. Sounds like your visit to California was great!

     Excellent page among 5-top pages on such a popular on VT destination! Yes, I quite agree, California is a must! If I ever appear in the USA I'll try to get there. Thanks Lori for the virtual tour! Golden Bridge would still waiting for me...

     Despite its well-publicized problems, California is still a great state with lots to see and do. And I lived in the state for three years.
