We visited Alcatraz Island yesterday. My first time since moving to San Francisco almost 3 years ago. Some day I will have visited all the tourist sites, somehow it seems harder when you live her. Anyway, it was pretty cool, but you have to pay like $35 just to go! We did the night tour and they told us all sorts of stories about how prisoners try to escape.............they never found 5 of them! It could be your next door neighbor people!
