4.14: San Francisco Day 3
We've been here for three days, and I haven't yet had access to free internet. And much like sex, I refuse to pay for something I can get for free.
Today, we're going to head back down to the bay and take a ferry to Alcatraz for a tour. We're planning to breakfast at Boudin again, but the big one down at the wharf with all the fancy meal choices. Somewhere in there, we're going to drive down twisty twisty Lombard Street, just to say we did.
The Alcatraz tour was sort of awesome. I hadn't realized that there was an audio tour included in our passage to the island, and it was cool to head former prisoners and guards describing their experiences there. A lot of the island was in various states of ruin, but there were bit of incredible beauty here and there, plus the views of the city and the bridges. I went along on the tour mostly because it was something Rex wanted to do, but I'm glad I did.
After the tour, we drove out of town across the Golden Gate bridge, stopping on the other side to take a few obligatory pictures. Then we drove up the coast and made it to the B&B just in time to run down to the beach and catch the sunset. We climbed about a million steps back up to the main house for a glass of wine, and then retired to our room for the first internet access I've had since we left Dallas.
