SanFrancisco

I couldn't believe the steep streets and how crammed together all the homes were--no wasted space in San Francisco that's for sure!


We went to visit the Alcatraz which is about a 30 minute ferry ride away from SanFran. This was a prison for the most dangerous criminals. They were placed here because there is absolutely no way to escape except to swim. The gorgeous view of San Francisco drove them madd and many of them tried to swim back to the city; but not one made it back alive. Even being there a few short hours was really depressing and we couldn't wait to get off of that Island. I never knew that the movie "The Rock" was actually based on something real life. Hollywood really made the Alcatraz a famous attraction.
