October 3

We were up a little bit later but loading the bus at 9:00 AM.

We are on our to San Francisco and Pier 39.  We were to explore Pier 39 and eat lunch on our own.

 So here are all of our guest heading out in different directions to see what is on this Pier.

 The signs that you find while walking around the Pier.

 We keep find guest all over the place.

 We even found a few Sea Lions making a lot of noise.

 Today we are going to be able to mark one more thing off our bucket list and that is the trip to Alcatraz.  Cyndy and I have always wanted to go out to this small Island.

 Here we are waiting to load the boat.

 It was a little windy or I should say really windy.  This boat runs on electricity, from solar panels and a couple of wind turbos.  THey started running these boats all electric and have cut the pollution of the bay by a lot.

 We had to walk up 130 feet in elevation in four stages.

 Here we are stating our auto tour and it was great.

 I don't think I would like these showers, it looks like only one temperature in the water, and my luck it would be COLD!!!!

 At least you got a nice bed.

 Well maybe not that good.

 We lost one of our guest today, he ended up staying on the rock/

 Lunch hall the most dangers place in the prison, here all of the end mates got knife, fork and spoon, but they never had a problem.  Lost a little bit of silver ware.

 We had a great day and it was a very interesting trip to the rock.  Tomorrow is another day of exploring San Francisco.  Can't wait to see where we are going.
