Hello everyone... I've been bad... I got sent to prison... while Dana got sent to Europe... but you know I did kinda buy the tickets to prison so you know. Hey guys! I went to Alcatraz with my mom a couple Saturday's ago and it was quite a fun trip! This happened while I was staying in San Francisco.
I had just finished a short Saturday class at the intensive and was ready to go to Alcatraz! Our first stop was the Plant Café Organic since it was around lunchtime. I got a salad and a juice and quite enjoyed it, afterwards we walked around the piers since we had some time.

After we walked around we went into the car to find a parking space. Well, that was an adventure on its own since in San Francisco parking is neither cheap nor easy to find. After we went into a parking garage we circle around until we realized we were almost late. We then swooped into a finally open parking space and ran like the Flash to the pier. My heart was pounding but we made it in time with five minutes to spare! Yeah! While we were waiting in our line I saw a father and three daughters. Two of them were wearing matching outfits and head accessories while the third wore slightly darker clothes and wasn't matching. They were probably around 7 or 8 and I can already tell which one will be the moodiest as a teenager. Isn't creepy how young children now go to a place where people were killed and convicted... for fun? |
We arrived in Alcatraz in a nice boat ride that was roughly five minutes. I didn't realize Alcatraz was that close... hmmm. I then saw the beauty that Alcatraz was. There were plants and birds and SEAGULL CHICKS! You do not realize how cute they are. They're like little leopard birds, but I suppose they're speckled that way to blend in, its hard to see them sometimes. My mom and I took an audio tour of the prison she did one in Russian while I, well English duh. It was pretty amazing. There were these dramatic prison sounds and cool escape stories told from other prisons who lived on Alcatraz, also known as "The Rock". Thank goodness most of the tour was inside since it was cold and windy outside. After a couple hours, we left on another boat.
Now a final little weird story. While we were walking back to the garage we say five retro cars that all had a guy driving and a "movie star" girl in the seat next to him with some killer sunglasses. One of the cars even went up and down (on purpose) and I was kind of scared for their safety, ha-ha.
I hope you enjoyed my story, even if it's a little late. Signing off, A happy Anna!
