The day after we arrived in San Francisco, we took a tour to Alcatraz. This is the view of San Francisco from there. The tour was very informative and we all really enjoyed it. It was especially interesting to learn about the families who lived on Alcatraz and hear about how life was on the island from the viewpoint of the children of the staff at Alcatraz.
Mike and I in a typical cell....five feet wide by nine feet deep with a sink, toilet and bed.
The view of Alcatraz Island.
Showing some of the original paintings left behind by one inmate when the prison was closed.
View of the dock and officer's quarters with the prison in the background.
