I flew to California today, and spent the day in San Francisco. First stop: a tour of Alcatraz. This is really one of the coolest things I've done in a long time. I took the audio tour that leads you through all the passageways of the main prison. It is really amazing to hear all the stories of attempted escapes, riots, and just daily life for the inmates there. The eeriest part had to be solitary confinement - you are actually able to go inside one of the cells. They don't shut the door anymore like they apparently used to on the tour, but I got a good enough idea as it was.
