    On our last night in the US, we went to dinner and a movie at the Great Mall of San Jose.

    After catching the ferry back from Alcatraz, we walked up to a place called Lou's at Fisherman's Wharf and had lunch, checked out a few shops and caught a cable car to the cable car museum. This is the cable car we caught, and it's apparently the newest one they have, being only about 6 months...
