It was an interesting start to our holiday.......the conductor had a row with a passenger who refused to show a ticket or buy one.....we quickly realised from their heated conversation that this was an ongoing battle......he called for an inspector.....who arrived 10 minutes later.....and the passenger immediately produced a ticket....the inspector had a calm,but firm,talk with her before we set off!!!!
We were in no hurry.....so just enjoyed the three way exchange.....and the conductor's ongoing grumbles.......and the woman's mutterings......throughout the journey.
We did alright out of it.....the conductor apologised to us for all the delays.....and waived payment!!!
[I'm not sure whether to put this story on the front of the page.....or hidden on the back.]
We were certainly ready for a big breakfast of American pancakes.......before starting a city tour on the hop-on-hop-off bus.
Thia will probably be my last San Francisco page......I've plenty more photos.....but I think they will go into the album in divided page protectors.....so now to move onto Hawaii.

This is fab and thanks for sharing the story behind it too - did you nip in to Sephora whilst waiting for the cable car? Or wasn't it open at that hour? Really looking forward to your layouts of Hawaii
Have a great weekend

Great page - your papers & embellishments work really well with the cable car theme. Wow, what a story for your first adventure in San Fransisco!
That paper is indeed perfect!
Lovely to see your pages
hmmm american pancakes. Lovely page x
Wow what a fab page Jacky! Great idea to put the route strip down the side too :)
Perfection! I so love seeing your layout! They inspire me to start scrap booking again!
Super page and San Francisco sounded fun - eagerly awaiting your tales from Hawaii
The cable cars look amazing and you have chosen the perfect papers for it Jacky. We head to Austria tomorrow, so looking forward to the break.
What a fabulous page and it made me smile ... You got an insight into everyday life on holiday, it's the same worldwide, is it lol x
What a great story. We're just back and you've made me think: the people watching is one of the best bits of being away isn't it!
Great story and page. The paper couldn't have been more perfect!
Isn't that ironic - you didn't have to pay for your tickets because she tried to refuse to pay, but had to, for hers! That paper strip with the route on is a lovely touch, and that paper just suits the colour of the cable car. What adventures you have had!
What a great story to go with your lovely layout!
Lovely layout, and a great story :)
Happy weekend.
