I was totally against going to this because it just seemed too disturbing but it turned out to be really interesting.

Finally after many years by willowt1

I lived in San Francisco many years ago and always wanted to visit Alcatraz. It never happened until last month when I went back to visit on vacation. It seems you only really see anything when you’re on vacation! It would probably have been slightly better I had taken a normal tour, but I didn’t want to pay extra so I stuck with the audio tour. It can be interesting, but I’d recommend going when it’s not rainy so that the boat ride will at least be enjoyable if you don’t end up enjoying the rest. Wouldn’t mind seeing what the night tour was all about either..
