cable car in San Francisco

The cable car is being turned around on the turntable and you can see the man turning it around. You can see another cable car in the background waiting to come in. It is a very popular tourist attraction as the cable cars go up the steep hills of San Francisco. The cable is not above but underneath the street which pulls the cable car up the hills..

"I left my heart in San Francisco" .... by the singer Tony Bennett

The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome is of another day.
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhatten.
I'm going home to my city by the bay.


I left my heart in San Francisco high on a hill, it calls o me.
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars!
The morning fog may chill the air I don't care!
My love waits there in San Francisco Above the blue and windy sea.
When I come home to you, San Francisco,
Your golden sun will shine for me!




This is the famous song for this beautiful city called San Francisco.
It is a very friendly city and the people are very helpful to help you in need.
I give thanks to my friends Rod and max for showing me around the city the many times that I have visited this City by the Bay.
San Francisco has a wonderful climate year round.
It is proud of its own history going back to the Gold Rush days.
It also has the largest gay population in the United States and probably in the world.
It is a very free city and it is noticeable that that people are respected no matter what colour you are or even what race you belong too. It has the largest Asian population and the largest Chinese community.
So this song of San Francisco brngs back a lot of memories for me. And I hope also that someday it will be my home as well.
San Francisco has steep hills just like here in La Paz, Bolivia
