Vacation Day 3: San Francisco (Hopefully the damn pictures show up this time...)
Started the day with a ride on a genuine SF cable car.
Next stop: Chinatown!
Although its now a national park, Alcatraz Island still has trappings that makes one uneasy.
NB sure didn't like being under constant scrutiny from the tower guards.
Imagine spending most of your adult life in a 6 ft. by 10 ft cell.
Quote of the Day: "I named this island 'La Isla de los Alcatraces' (Island of the Sea Birds) because of their being so plentiful here." Juan Manual de Ayala, 1775.
Meal of the Day: Dim Sum lunch in Chinatown. Alas, I forgot the name of the restuarant.

NB is so adorable in that hat! And he's really getting big. Keep the pictures coming, and enjoy the rest of your vacation :-)
I didn't get to see Alcatraz. The wait was four days to buy tickets. I did take pictures of real California highway Patrol. Dah-dun dah-dun [Insert CHiPs Theme song]
Murray and I are looking forward to hearing all about the trip. Glad to see Isaac is getting lots of "culture" along the way!
