(Notice the homeless guy in our group pic. He wouldn't move)Day 7: This may be our last day posting. There is a rumor there is no cell or internet service at Big Sur. We will find out when we get there! We are loading up, doing a city bus tour and bike ride over the Golden Gate bridge. We should be on the road around 3:oo. Here are some pics from yesterday:
Day 6: Today we woke up early and made our way to the wharf by shuttling kids in one van. Yikes! The trip to Alcatraz was so fun. Much improved since I was a girl and took the tour. We watched a video about the origins of Alcatraz as a bird sanctuary, military base, prison, Indian land for 19 months and finally a national park. After that a ranger took us on a walking tour about the attempted escapes there by prisoners. Last we took an audio tour of the prison. It was narrated as if you were part of history, with the sounds of what it must have been like during that time. We got back on the ferry to drizzles so we decided to forego our bike ride til later and went back to the hotel. We left again for the wharf for dinner and a night tour bus(which ended up cancelling due to the weather) We ended up shopping for a few hours on the wharf, watching the sea lions on pier 39 and playing arcade games.
