Our first morning here, we went into the city via BART, getting off the train in the middle of downtown. What an amazing transit system BART is. We are easily impressed since we have never ridden a heavy rail transit system like the NY subway or the DC Metrorail or the L in Chicago or the T in Boston. (Did I cover them all?) Can't see how it gets up to speed so quickly - moving about 1000 people from zero to sixty before the last car has cleared the station.
Cable car rides, hikes up and down Lombard St, the famous "crookedest street in the world, Hyde Street Pier, Ghirardelli Square, the streetcars and the Ferry Building, a lunch w/margarita in the Cannery (site of Del Monte's beginnings) and dinner at Ciappino's near Fisherman's Wharf. A full and tiring day finished off with the hundreds of thousands of commuters on the BART.
