We waited for our trolley back to the Wharf and it took us awhile to find one that had room. Finally this guy stopped and said he only had room for one of us...and we said that we would wait for another trolley. Now it is just my opinion, but I think at that point he saw my San Francisco Giant's visor (that I had just bought on the Escandero) and he waved us both on board. As you can see, he has a Giant's hat turned backwards. One fan can spot another. We crammed onto the car and were treated to a tutorial by the driver about how he learned his job. He told Peggy that they put him into an empty trolley car for 5 days and made him drive up and down those hills. What was fascinating was to watch him drive and maneuver those hills. Most of the time he would jump and land with both feet on this long brake pedal to stop the trolley. At the end of 5 days he said, you either have it or you don't. He was very funny and entertaining. The car was crammed full of people with some of them hanging off both sides. Luckily, we were sandwiched inside and didn't have to dangle in the wind.
