We spent this afternoon at Alcatraz Island. It was interesting, but after seeing it on TV and in movies, there wasn't much more to see. Plus, after spending $58.00 for tickets and paying $35.00 to park, it fell short of what I was expecting. One of the employees on the boat told Bob that they average 5,500 passengers per day. WOW!!! What a racket!
After our trip to the island, we met some friends from San Jose for dinner and had a great time! Have I mentioned lately that "This IS the life?!?!"
