Result of 6 voters
Key - Excellent: 5 points; Very Good: 4 points; Good: 3 points; Average: 2 points; Poor: 1 points; (Average points in brackets)
(1) Looking back down Lombard Street at the foot of Telegraph Hill and Coit Tower. - 1 voter (5.00) BAR
(2) The Exploratorium. Probably one of the coolest hands-on science museums you'll ever see. - 1 voter (5.00) BAR
(3) Lombard Street, the world's most crooked street. Yes, I drove down it. If you've been to San Francisco, you know it's almost hard not to at least once. One end ends up at Telegraph Hill where Coit Tower is located, and the other end eventually ends up as one of the major roadways into Golden Gate Bridge. Update: It's not the most crooked! It may be longer, but it has been brought to my attention that Vermont Street is more crooked. - 1 voter (5.00) BAR
(4) Pier 39. - 1 voter (5.00) BAR
(5) R1_26 - 1 voter (5.00) BAR

Coit Tower is the place to get great shots of downtown San Francisco—preferably with more cooperative weather.

On the dock, preparing to board the ferry to Alcatraz. There are two official Alcatraz sites, here and here. However, the Alcatraz History site looks to be far more in depth with lots of pictures, write-ups, and diagrams, including wonderful graphical layouts of the island and the cell house.

By the way, the actual name is La Isla de los Alcatraces, which means Island of the Pelicans. The name was given in 1775 by Spanish explorer Juan Manuel de Ayala.

A Block is closed off. The sign reads,
[640x432] [1800x1215]
A Block is closed off. The sign reads, "The Army built this cell house in 1912. When it was remodeled into a Federal Penitentiary in 1934, A Block was not modernized. It still retains the old flat bars and key locks of the military prison days. During the Federal Penitentiary years, 1934-1963, prisoners were almost never kept in A Block. These cells were used for study areas, typing rooms, and storage of cleaning materials."

I guess I haven't yet mentioned that my friend, Tammy, was with me this day. I first knew her from college. She lives in Windsor, just a few minutes north of Santa Rosa where my cousin and her husband were living at the time
