After an easy and dry drive to San Francisco we joined my sister's Christmas tradition of hanging out and eating. Even with thirteen people in the house (but only eleven people sleeping in the house that night) there were still quiet places to just be on one's own, but plenty of people to play and chat with.

Cable Car Museum
And a small example of why this is such a
great city to have automatic transmission |
The next day we were lucky again because the sky was a beautiful blue and my sister was willing to drive us to the
cable car museum taking the scenic route. It is great to see a city through the eyes of a local.
 |
The cables cars themselves do not have engines so
this is the place to observe the engines for all the lines. |
 |
I was happy to see all the special tokens in the museum and was only a
little sad that I did not live in SF in the late 1970's in order to collect them. |
From the museum we walked to
City Lights Booksellers & Publishers, another place I had never visited.
 |
| It does make me realize how many books I have never heard of. |
 |
| We rode the California Cable Car (line C) past Chinatown |
 |
| and enjoyed hearing the bell |
 |
| and watching it in action. |
 |
| before we went to Japantown to look at stationery, pens, and so many tempting things. |
And that was it. We took a couple buses back to my sister's place, packed the car (which we charged while we were sleeping and gallivanting around town - thank you!!) and headed to the next part of our adventure.
 |
| No bridge toll on the way out of town - yippee. |
