>>I can't believe that SF doesn't lose a tourist or two to a cable car incident each year. <<

We do - but I don't think anyone has been killed.....yet.

>>But it's way fun, so I hope law suits never shut it down.>>

About 30 years ago, a woman was struck by a cable car. She sued - claiming the incident turned her into a nymphomaniac - really, I'm not making this up. Can't remember how the lawsuit ended - perhaps a lot of male lawyers wanted to "represent" her.

Kath - You are welcome, and thanks for a very insightful trip report.

Stu -
What memories you stir up! I'd totally forgotten that cable car incident.

Glad you enjoyed the trip. And not hitting all the restaurants just gives you a good excuse to go back!

>>you should buy a multi-day Muni Pass which might also include the cable cars - this will allow hop-ons & offs.>>

StuDudley,
I purchased the CityPass online, which includes a 7 day Muni passport, as well as a bay cruise and several museums. I think it's a pretty good deal.
