California Trip

The last leg of my trip in California involved friends and family time, often over meals and board games. I visited San Francisco on a beautiful, sunny day and rode the cable car and learned more about it at the Cable Car Museum. Also went to some places in the Sonoma area – it’s famous as the home of Peanuts cartoonist Charles Schulz.

What’s running the cable cars underground

Harsh penalties for looting after the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake

Learned about the woman, Freidel Klussmann, who led the efforts to save the cable cars from being scrapped
