Thank Goodness They Let Me Go!




The last day Melissa was here we took an adventure to San Fran again this time with my friends Lindsay and Eric! We went to Alcatraz island and Fisherman's wharf! We took this bus their and when we got off we had to find another bus but at that corner there was a bit of construction so we couldn't find the sign that identified where our bus would stop.

 I noticed a couple officers standing at the corner and it seemed logical that they would know where the bus stop should be! That assumption was not correct and it gave my friends lots of ammunition to tease me! I walked over and asked where the Muni 10 bus stop was and they were like...duh! i don't know! So I chatted with them a moment and then left! We crossed the street only to find out the bus stop was where we had been! So as we crossed back across the street, I walked over to the officers and told them..."just in case someone else asks you where the Muni 10 stop is, it is right over here!"


 They laughed and i stood and talked to them a few more minutes til the bus arrived. Well Lindsay and Melissa both laugh at me cause they say I flirt with them without knowing it! I really don't know what they are talking about but they give me a hard time either way!

So we boarded the ferry to the island and off we went! The island was very neat and the tour was great!


 It talked about how 3 men escaped from their cells and technically off the island but there has never been any evidnce to suggest they actually made it to land! They had spent almost a year digging a hole behind the vents in their rooms big enough for them to get out. They created fake heads to put on their beds so it appeared they were still sleeping. They somehow fashioned a make shift boat out of a rain jacket! It is so fasinating that somehow they got the supplies to make these fake heads that looked so real!

Afterwards we went to Fisherman's Wharf and ate some seafood and watched (and listened) to the sea lions!




I think that wraps up that day!
