A trip to Alcatraz is THE thing to do in San Fransisco, so much so that the ferry is fully booked for a week, I bought tickets before we left, of course and we enjoyed a brief trip across the bay to the "rock"
We visited Eastern state penitentiary in Philly a few years ago and it was quiet and spooky, this is more touristy and noisy, with audio tour headphones on there were crowds of people standing vacantly listening to the tour but when you could get to see inside cells and buildings it was interesting, I have taken a few photos in multi exposure to process when I get home but here are the highlights..............
The island is a bird sanctuary as well and we were greeted by a couple of the residents!
There was an exhibition by Ai weiwei as well, some of the pieces were just small stones filling loos and baisins but one of the better ones was the dragon
