San Francisco - Day 2

Today we left the hotel early and walked over to a cute little cafe just around the corner. They had the BEST fruit, it was soo good! After breakfast we went and hopped on a cruise boat and did the Alcatraz tour.








This is part of the audio tour where they take you outside. Each person gets a headset with a pre-recording that walks you through the prison building with former inmates, correctional officers, and residents reminiscing about life there on the island. We also had a retired FBI agent that gave a small tour and told us some escape stories which were really interesting.


Next, we jumped on a cable car and went to China Town.


After wandering around for a while trying to figure out where to eat lunch, most of us decided we were not in the mood for Chinese food anymore so we went back to the Pier and ate Lunch/Dinner at "Bubba Gumps."

Afterwards, we walked around all the cute shops at the pier, making a stop at a candy store for lots of Salt Water Taffy that was soo good!
