I'll be staying in Sacramento (
HI Sacramento Hostel) and have just one day I can go to San Francisco.
I last rode the cable cars some 35 years ago while I was in San Francisco for 2 weeks on temporary assignment.
I won't pass up a chance to ride a cable car again.
For me the high points of my day will be:
•
Capitol Corridor train ride SAC - OKJ. I've not been on the train west of SAC before.
•
Ferry ride Oakland to Pier 41.
•
Seafood stew (
originated in S.F.) w/sourdough bread for lunch @
Cioppino's in the Fisherman's Wharf neighborhood.
• Ride the
Powell-Hyde cable car line. If the weather is nice I'll probably get off and spend some time at the top of Lombard street. I would like to shoot some video from the Hyde-Lombard intersection.
• and stopping in Davis for a
Mexican food dinner (
Tres Hermanas) on the way back to SAC.
I'll be taking Amtrak's 4:15 pm Thruway bus back across the bay to Emeryville to head back EMY-DAV-SAC.
I considered riding BART from the Embarcadero station to Richmond instead of the Amtrak bus to EMY, but would rather go
over the bay.
One-way cable car fare is now $7 for all ages.
