SAN FRANCISCO, California â€" As your big plane circles over San Francisco and you eagerly look out for the Golden Gate Bridge, Twin Peaks, and even the notorious Alcatraz, you wonder if the promise made by Tony Bennett will be fulfilled. Can any city be so great that you leave your heart behind when you fly away? San Francisco is that great, and it would be a cold heart that isn’t quickly warmed by the beauty of this peninsula city that offers so much to its visitors. The greatest attraction is the natural beauty of the land on which the city stands and the waters which surround it. Most visitors expect to find hilly streets, ‘but not so steep that you feel you could lean on the sidewalk when you get tired of climbing them! They are almost alpine in graduation so rather than explore them on foot. the best idea is to catch a cable car. Cable cars are as much a part of San Francisco as C.s â€" THE LIBERAL. Wednesday.

It was a stroke of municipal genius not to retire the old cars, for although they frequently break down, they are an inexpensive tourist at- traction no one should miss. Make your first ride the one down to Fisherman’s Wharf. You’ll enjoy every minute of the banter between the conductor and his passengers, and have a fabulous view of two sides of the city. When you leave the car at Fisherman's Wharf, rely on your feet to take you down to the water and an exploration of the attractions in this bustling section of the city. Part of Fisherman’s Toronto area Wharf is a little too much of an amusement arcade for some tastes. but the area also boasts some fine boutiques and San Francisco's newest shopping area, Pier 394. -..-rr___° , Built in the style of old San Francisco, Pier 39 has 23 restaurants, 105 specialty shops, artisans and craftsmen. en- tertainment and a spectacular view of the busy waterfront. But don’t spend all your money at Pier 39. On your way back to the cable car you'll pass Ghirardelli Square, an old chocolate making factory that has been imaginatively converted into shopping b o u t i q u e s a n d restaurants. You can still buy Ghirardelli creamery ice cream there, and it’s worth an inflated $2.25 US to spoon into a Golden Gate banana split. Alcatraz, the notorious old penetentiary, is now open to visitors who can get a boat ride across the Bay to the rock. It’s a gloomy building, but does provide an excellent view of the waterfront area. “Guidemate†C.

First-time visitors should get one of the official city tour rides. They last about three hours and give you an excellent idea of the city layout, and the places you'd like to go back to if the stopover wasn’t long enough. Don‘t stay longer than the driver allows at stopovers. Our bus was often picking up passengers from previous stopovers â€"â€" and they replaced those we left behind! The longest stopover is at Cliff House on the Pacific, where you can pop in for a drink or just stand admiring the hundreds of seals sunning themselves on a nearby rock. After the tour, get a BART and bus map. The Bay Area Rapid Transit system is the world‘s only totally automated transit system. The computer- controiled trains move at speeds up to 80 miles an hour, and you can ride the entire system for a 60 cent excursion fare. Shop at Simpsons for all your ‘Black and Decker’ home workshop equipment. Dependable. Affordable. If you more seriously Each want to get from one place to another, BART information will plan the route for you. There are 71 miles of BART track and 34 stations. so there is hardly a place over three counties that cannot be reached quickly and inexpensively. One place gardeners will want to go back to is the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park. This is a stunning and sym- metrical garden around lily ponds and shrines, where it is so quiet that you almost feel you must whisper your comments. Another. on the op- posite side of the city. is Nob Hill where the wealthy paid millions for lush homes with views over the city.

If you eat at a restaurant on the hill, you look across at San Francisco, and if you do your eating at dusk the view will be one you’ll never forget. There’s a ferry service between Sausalito and San Francisco that makes nine daily roundtrips on weekdays and eight on weekends and holidays. The, crossing takes 30 minutes and costs $1. It’s worth making enquiries about staying in Sausalito and commuting to San Francisco becausé rates are slightly cheaper. Finally, a word about the weather. California seems hot to winter- weary Ontarians, but the temperature rarely rises above 65 degrees F. in summer and 57 degrees F. in winter. Best bet is to wear summer clothes but carry a sweater or car- digan. It‘s frequently foggy in July, August and September.
