Alcatraz Part I

We've all seen a movie about it at least once in our lives. I must've passed it at least more than a dozen times. It was just always something we see whenever we're at the SF Pier or when we drive through the Bay Bridge. But most of us have never been to it.

Today, we finally made that short boat trip from Pier 33 to the famous Alcatraz. Our
scheduled trip was at 10:30 AM. We were there an hour early to avoid hitting any traffic. Had some nice hot Peets coffee and some doughnuts while the rest munched on hotdogs.

Rafael obviously was happy to be out. He always seems to enjoy whenever we go someplace - any place. Especially today when he actually was in a real boat.
