San Francisco and Cable Cars

Last weekend Paul, Kellie and I decided to ride the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) light rail train into San Francisco and ride the cable cars down to Fisherman's Wharf.  It turned out to be a fun adventure.  The BART actually goes under the bay and you can tell you are under water because the pressure on your ears changes for a few minutes.  We were able to escape the long lines to ride the cable car by just going down the street to the next stop.  It was a blast to ride it up and down those steep streets.  All three of us did not have a seat, but they just let you hang on the side and hold on tight.

We spent several hours checking out the wharf, the seafood, learning about the history of Alcatraz, and watching several sea lions beg for food as they were cleaning the fish at the end of the day.   We then got on another cable car and did the whole trip in reverse.   All in all, it was a lot of fun.
