San Fran

We are staying in a campground that is right on the Pacific!  Last night I fell asleep listening the waves.  I can get used to this!  We  went on a tour of Alcatraz this morning.  Very interesting!  It is pretty amazing that it is 1 ½ miles away from San Fran.  Those prisoners must have hated to see how close they were. Yet so far away.  We learned a lot.  I always thought it was just a prison but it was also a military fort and later after the prison closed the Indians tried to claim it as their land.   Then we took a trolley (cable car) ride up and down the streets of SF.  We visited Ghirardelli  Square.  We went down the Crookedest Street in America, and we visited the Redwoods in the Muir Woods. We are looking forward to our visit with our friends, the Morans, in Portland tomorrow and Thursday.
