#40. The Rock
Alcatraz Listeners
Originally uploaded by nightpost.
After a weekend of visiting family in San Francisco, I took a trip with my friend CJ to check out Alcatraz…
What a heck of a place! It was a lot sunnier than I imagined. Compared to Kilmainham Gaol in Ireland, it was like a vacation resort. Of course, it was overcast and windy in mid-June, so I’m guessing it wasn’t such a pleasant place to live in the winter.
I was also surprised at how small the prison was… only about 3 cell blocks wide, plus the dining room, library, and administration areas. It always looks so much bigger in the movies.
Overall, it was a fine day.

Just found your blog. It’s really fun! My top suggestions to you: 37. Visit Miami-I just did and it was great! Some pix on my blog. 45. Visit LACMA: Go, a lot it’s really inspirational. 21. Take a photography class. Go to the Julie Dean Workshops in Venice. She’s awesome. Okay, I’m biased, I’m a photographer.
