| Page Views: 1,689 | A Visit to Alcatraz-by choice, of course by spgood301 - last update: Jan 18, 2005 |
It seems like prison to me Alcatraz is a must-see while in SF. It's a bit of history in San Francisco Bay. Hey, Al Capone lived here-not that he wanted to, of course.
Take the ferry from Pier 41 to Alcatraz, check out the grounds, the cells, etc. Pay the $5 extra for the guided tour-it's worth it.
A couple of words of caution: Alcatraz is steep, with lots of climbing. It offers a "tram service" for those who can't make the walk up and down the hill-it leaves once an hour. Also, its an island in the middle of SF Bay-it gets cold there!!!
Hope you enjoy some of the pics of my Alcatraz experience-the swim home was a killer!!! |
|  | A typical Alcatraz cell-room for one! |
If you're really bad, you're sent to "the Hole". I had to bribe the guard to get out! | | |
| | This kinda looks like my college dorm |
The view from the lunch hall's quite exquisite | | | Outside Alcatraz' Lunch Hall |

| | Though the view from the cell block's not much better |
and, across all that water...SWEET FREEDOM!!!!
