Alcatraz Island

We visited Alcatraz on our little trip and it was really neat! Here are some photos of our adventures.


View of Alcatraz from the boat.



Looking back at downtown.

On Alcatraz looking back across the bay.


In the shower room. EWE...



Cute Ryan next to one of the cells.



Inside the cell. We had a headset to take a self-guided tour. It was really interesting.



A really fancy cell...



From the top of Alcatraz across the bay. This is the Bay Bridge.



This is the Golden Gate Bridge and it was a really foggy day.



Ryan and the view to downtown and the Bay Bridge.



Some of the prisoners actually escaped by digging around the vent to make it wider. This is one of the cells that a prisoner escaped from.
If you get the chance you should visit Alcatraz. It was really a pretty island and a very interested tour. There were a lot of things to see - many that we didn't photograph. Just take a jacket because it gets cold and windy out there!
