For our European micer friends who may not have had the opportunity to visit America, or San Francisco...:)

This clip is the cable car ride from Powell and Market to Fisherman's Wharf; supposedly one of the more scenic cable car rides in SF. You get to see the guys turning the car around on a revolving platform before boarding. It basically goes through Union Square in the beginning, skirts the edges of Chinatown, goes by the top of Lombard ( nice view of Coit Tower there!) and down in a reverse Rice-A-Roni fashion to the Wharf - and watch that crazy bicyle at the end - is it even a "BI"cycle?

I was lucky enough to sit in the very front seat of the cable car, and shoot it facing forwards - still the old analog camcorder, though. That camcorder is history now.. :)

If you take a cable car to Powell and Hyde, make sure you stop at the Buena Vista Cafe. Good fun!

You can even smoke outside at Zeitgeist and the locals at Toronado step out onto Haight Street and light up religiously ever afternoon,, fun.
