A Visit to Alcatraz-by choice, of course

by spgood301 - last update: Jan 18, 2005

It seems like prison to me

Alcatraz
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!!!
Alcatraz Cell
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!
Alcatraz-"the Hole
Alcatraz Cell Block
This kinda looks like my college dorm
The view from the lunch hall's quite exquisite
Outside Alcatraz' Lunch Hall
Outside Alcatraz
Though the view from the cell block's not much better
and, across all that water...SWEET FREEDOM!!!!

(now, when's that boat coming?!!!)
