The Rock

Connor and I had to seriously hunt for second hand tickets to get to go to Alcatraz.  Even with all of my pre-trip web crawling, I had no idea that tickets can sometimes sell out weeks in advance and that's what happened to us.  Fortunately, there's a nice resellers (read: markup) market and we were able to make it happen.

Bay Bridge and Treasure Island in the background

Some surprisingly pretty ruins on The Rock

One of the original buildings--part of the fort that was there before it became a prison

Flowers blooming everywhere and beautiful architecture
