The boys are out of school and into prison - for the day anyway. We took a ferry out to Alcatraz Island. It was surprisingly sunny for Alcatraz, so the grounds were very pretty. But it would be absolutely depressing to have to live in the prison. The cells are so small and you would probably never be warm. No wonder they all tried to escape.
Nathaniel found a bird that was willing to pose for a picture.
A garden shed on the grounds looked almost inviting.
The narrow strip of ground to my left was some of the prisoners' gardens.
There would be a cot in the cell for the prisoner. Lovely.

Prison in the background. Agave growing over rubble from military family housing off to the left.
Yeah, just in case you didn't know it was illegal to help prisoners escape.
Nathaniel didn't like the signs all over the place that said, "Access restricted for your protection" He would have liked to go up all the stairs (like the ones on the guard tower in the background).
