I think if my mom were to go there she might actually pass out on the spot. 2 reasons - the confinement (she's claustrophobic) and the birds. There are sooooooo many birds there, some pretty, some disgusting and stinky. Mostly it is the latter.
This cell housed one of the only successful escapees. They dug these holes with stolen spoons and escaped into a utility corridor, out of the prison and off the island. Officially, Alcatraz claimed the men drown in the bay although their bodies were never found. I think they made it...
After our Alcatraz tour we climbed to Coit Tower. 457 steps to get to the top. It provided some pretty views of the city, but nothing 'blog-worthy'.
We then proceeded through Chinatown. A very interesting part of the city. I really liked it, I'm not sure it was Jeff's favorite.
We also made a stop at Grace Cathedral on the top of Nob Hill. What a beautiful place! The stained glass windows are amazing and we both walked the labyrinth inside the cathedral.
After all that walking, we were hungry for a delicious anniversary dinner. We went to a romantic little restaurant called Frascati. We had a delicious meal (I had the duck and Jeff had the scallops) and a lovely bottle of CA wine. It was a great way to celebrate 10 wonderful years together!
