On Friday we drove downtown San Francisco to take the ferry across to Alcatraz Island to see this infamous prison that is now part of Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Despite being summer, it is very chilly waiting by the dock for the boat. No wonder they think no escapee could survive the swim to shore. Once “on the rock” we take the audio tour. It is a very interesting place and the audio is well done. Al Capone was probably the most famous resident. Now I can’t wait to go home and rewatch the Clint Eastwood movie, ‘Escape from Alcatraz'. Alcatraz Island seems the perfect spot for a maximum security penitentiary.
On the way home we stop at my sister’s favorite restaurant in San Francisco, ‘Crustacean’. I get off cheap as Aimee is getting sick and doesn’t order a meal.
