San Francisco Trip 2019 - Alcatraz (4K 60FPS)
44(As usual, follow my trip's progress here ➡️ https://bit.ly/SanFrancisco2019)
Today I went to prison! Well, not literally...! The main destination was a visit to Alcatraz Prison, but you need to reserve tickets and wait for the visit. In the meantime, I visited the piers on the northern part of the city.
Now, Alcatraz was not what I expected at all. Everyone thinks about the prison itself, sure, but there's actually more to the island than that: there are actual gardens and even more. It is a national park in San Francisco. The way the visit went is you go through the main path until you reach the main prison. Many old buildings are still there, now holding art exhibits and museums. On the way to the top, there is also the famous water tower where a deep message to the people is written. When you reach the prison, you can learn more about the whole history of Alcatraz through an award-winning audio tour. It's fascinating to hear how the inmates could hear the celebrations of New Year's Eve from the city every year while all they could do is be stuck in their cells! After the tour, you can even meet an old Alcatraz inmate, William Baker. He has written a book about his own experience on the island. It was touching to see him there.
Overall, this visit was very good and I recommend it if you ever go to San Francisco!
