Set off at 8am, for San Francisco.
An hour and a half later, we arrived in a warm sunny San Francisco, to the tune of Funky Town. Hopped on the ferry and headed for Alcatraz. In the distance it looked quite small, however after climbing the many steps, not so small. We wandered through the cells (tiny cells), were locked in solitary confinement (the hole), pitch black, blacker than you've ever seen (or not seen). We spoke with Joyleen, who lived on the island as a child, as her father was a prison guard. She said life was very normal, crime free. They went to school in San Francisco, and came and went from island as they pleased.
As we left we found a store that sold sunnies, so we all bought a pair, including 2 pairs of shutters.
After this, we completed our tour and then boarded the ferry to head back to San Francisco for lunch. Then it was shopping at the mall, yipee!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRISH!!!
Glad you enjoyed your day while we were slogging away at school lol
