Visiting Alcatraz was pretty cool. I didn’t realize it also went through an occupation protest by American Indians..
The views from the island are quite breathtaking.
By the way, all I could think about was “Orange is the new Black”. –> brainwashed.
I took a smart executive decision to not take the recommended M-train + bus ride from the Ferry Building (was told it will take 2 hours??!!) and instead spent 15 mins and $15 on an Uber ride to the south observatory point. Highly recommended for great views !! The
adjacent park is wonderful but it was way too windy to stick around for too long:)
In San Francisco I continued to chase interesting discoveries and found out about Clarion Alley, known for the graffiti that adorns its walls. I also roamed around the Mission District, home to many other interesting sights.
