Sausalito, CA

Today Amy, Natalie, Peggy, Robbie and I are going to Alcatraz.  I’ve been looking forward to seeing as part of my trip here to the US

We get Rob and park at Fisherman’s Wharf in order to catch the ferry across to the island prison.  This place has a real aura to it.  You can sense the history of the place and with our audio guide, we lap up everything Alcatraz has to offer.  The tour took us around 3 hours and I had a blast.  Really enjoyed getting inside the walls, cells and the stories of the notorious prison that had housed Capone and other criminals – the worst of the worst they say.

Once back on the mainland we head over to McCormick & Kulleto’s for lunch, which is back from Fisherman’s Wharf, but again giving another great view over the Bay. 

We dropped Robbie off back at Chris’, and Amy and I did some last minute shopping for our trip starting tomorrow. 

Amy, Peggy and Nat are having dinner together while I head over to San Francisco to have one last meal with Robbie, Chris and Casi – who are now back form the weekend away.  We stayed in and just spent time catching up – a perfect end to this mini trip.  Who’d of thought us 3 guys would be meeting up in San Francisco 10 years after high school.

Robbie continues on to Atlanta tomorrow for his conference, while we begin our 7 week cross country journey by heading to Yosemite National Park.
