Finally, back to posting about San Francisco!
I bought ticket to go to Alcatraz Island the week before, because I read that the island sometimes gets sold out during the busy tourist season. Although I wasn't there during the busy season, I like being careful.
Ta da! Alcatraz Island! From the boat!
Ok, not the best angle. Oh well.
Got off the boat, took an hour-and-half tour about the history of the island before it was a federal penitentiary, saw where Nicolas Cage ran out of a doorway with green flares from the movie "The Rock", blah blah blah.
Eventually got to a part of Alcatraz Island with a good view of the city:
Then Scarfy Blue saw a bird and well...you know.
Eventually, I went into the jail, and wouldn't you know, it was just like the one in the movie Escape from Alcatraz, because they filmed on location. Ha. I found the cells important in the movie and of course in the jail, there is a giant poster which talks about the famous escape from Alcatraz.
You can even see what the guard saw when the escapees left behind dummy bodies.
Next entry: More Alcatraz!
