Bay Area Bliss

Not free, but definitely worth the money, is the day tour of Alcatraz. Part of the fun is the ferry ride over to the island, with departures from pier 33 at Bay Street. Cost is $23.25 for seniors over 62 and $24.50 for adults. Night tours are $29.25 and $31.50 on the same basis.

I found the place creepy enough in broad daylight — definitely glad we weren’t permanent guests in those cramped little cells. A park ranger gave us an orientation talk and then we picked up audio headsets for a 45-minute tour of the prison. The audio tour – available in seven languages – features voices of former Alcatraz inmates, correctional officers and residents who reminisce about life on the Rock.
