Alcatraz Island

Here is Alcatraz from our ferry boat ride over to the Island. We did a guided tour of the island with stories of all the escape attempts made when the island was in operation as a federal prison. We then did the audio tour through the prison. What I found most interesting was that the officers and their families lived on the island and the kids would take a boat to school everyday in San Fran. They described the island as a "nice place to grow up." I don't know about you, but I'm not sure I would want to raise a family next door to the prison where the countries worst criminals were sent...but at least you know where the "bad guys" are.
Me on D Block in isolation.

Brian "taking a break" in his cell.
After going to jail, we went out for some real San Fran seafood...my first dungeness crab and certainly not my last! It really seems like there are a lot of pics on here of me eating...hmmm. Anywho...it was damn good and I will be having more before we leave here!
