So last week I spent one night in San Fransisco, California. It was the first time that I had traveled there but really enjoyed it. I really wish we had more time there but had such a nice time anyways. It was rainy and thankfully we had just gotten off of the cable car and into a Starbucks just in time to miss the downpour of rain. I mean DOWNPOUR.
I really enjoyed riding on the cable care. We rode the whole way from the beginning to the end and it was a really fun way to see the city. That was such a fun experience. I took a short video while we were on it to show all of you.
We had a very fun driver who was very animated and made the ride even more fun. Just before I started shooting the video clip he says (as we are about to head down a steep hill) “Alright! It’s time to see how good the brakes are!”.
I hope you enjoyed my little video clip. I am still getting used to my new camera, but having fun using it.

I’ve never been on a cable car ride in San Fran and I’ve been there quite a few times. Next time for sure, those things are practically an American Icon.

I have never been to SF but watching your video makes me want to visit! Here in Toronto we have streetcars but they are not as fun as these. :) Glad you had lots of fun! Great post!

I just went on a wine tasting tour, and our plane landed in SF, we decided to stay a day. It was an excellent experience, I also rode a cable car, made me feel like I was in one of those T.V. shows you always see. Great experience, and I am glad you had fun to. :)
