We finally made it to Alcatraz Island. Bob and I couldn't get tickets that last couple times to San Francisco so this was a treat. There is an audio tour of the prison that we passed up. Less frustration that way. So we saw what we could see and were happy to just be there.
Colin did not like the prison cells very much and didn't want to go through that part again when we were headed back to the dock. Since we didn't have the audio tour, we were kinda lost when it came to leave.
In the gift shop, one of the last living inmates was there signing books. We didn't talk to him or anything, but it was neat to see him. Colin and Nathan's souvenirs were great big prison keys, replicas of the real thing.
The last picture is of the pelicans that inhabit the island. That is actually where Alcatraz got its name, it's real close to the Spanish word for pelican.

Weird how kids can feel those negative vibes so strongly, huh?
That 1st picture is great...nice lines and great depth with the mountains in the distance.
