It's been a little while since the old blog has seen an update. I'm also working from an iPod so the format may be terrible. Meh...
Even though it was night when we pulled into San Fran you can tell how awesome this city is (especially coming from LA.) The city it self isn't really that big, it sort of feels like a small town in a weird way.
The hostel gave us a free two hour tour where we learned a few random facts... Did you know the fortune cookie was an American invention? thought up right here in SF. The first factory is still operating which is honestly two Chinese ladies working away folding dough. It was 50 cents for a picture which on my shoe string budget couldn't afford.
Alcatraz was pretty cool. No longer a prison it is a national park/ tourist trap. There was a really good audio tour which took about an hour, although the movie escape from Alcatraz pretty much sums it up (and is conveniently located at the gift shop.) Really though the island is a great place to admire how beautiful the entire area is. I could easily spend a good chunk of time here.
