Day Two, Part Two, in San Francisco

by Hubert

Even at Alcatraz, inmates were allowed visitors. Very few visitors.



I stepped outside jail for a bit. Near Alcatraz Island is Angel Island, currently a state park, unless California's budget crisis changes that.



Now back inside the jail. There are several "blocks" in the jail, named after letters, and D Block was the worst for inmates, with poor lighting and some special cells for particularly bad behaving inmates. See below:



I had been on the island for over three hours, with the 90 minute history tour and the 45 minute jailhouse audio tour. Time to get some lunch back in San Francisco! Scarfy Blue said his goodbyes.



And on the boat ride back to land, an old friend was hovering around the Golden Gate Bridge.



Next San Francisco entry: Lunch and more!
