California trip: Mission Alkatraz

We went to Alcatraz yesterday. It was good. We bought the ticket online from their Alcatraz Cruz's website. We went to the pier 33 about 10 am and our boarding time was at 11am. It was a cloudy morning. The Cruz ship left the dock at 11am. The view was spectacular. They arranged an audio cell house trip. It was super cool. They gave you a piece of machinery and a headphone. A narrator explains everything as you walk by the cells and other places in the cell house. I think the was very entertaining.

Our next destination was pier 39 for lunch. It was total crap. The shrimp I had was either made of plastic or it had been chewed before and nothing left in it. I had real trouble with the food. Jamee had food poisoning after having food there. We did not realize Jamee had that severe condition until yesterday night. Our next destination was Golden Gate Bridge.

But we entered into a super fun neighborhood. It was a roller coaster ride. The roads were very steep and narrow. It looks like a very expensive neighborhood. The houses are on the sides of hills facing San Francisco Bay.

After a quick detour from that neighborhood we reached at vista point for Golden Gate Bridge. We took some pictures and enjoy the sunset. Then we moved toward mountain. We did our grocery and went to Googleplex. Finally we came back to hotel and went to a Chinese restaurant, PF Chang. Usually I don't like Chinese food that much but their food was not Chinese. I would say it was a mix of Thai, Indian and Chinese but the food was good.

Pretty much that's our last day at San Francisco. In my view San Francisco is a golden city. It is the most complete city, it has everything money, beauty, culture. It too perfect to be true. Apart from its recent semiconductor and IT boom, it has lot more to offer. When I came here I had the impression that, maybe it would be couple of tech companies one after another. But discovered life here. It not just tech companies. It is the most complete city I have ever been.
