9-6-16 Oh, my Aching Feet! Page 1


Short Story:  
It was a day trip into San Francisco! There was lots of walking!

Methods of transportation: 
ferry; bus, cable car, bicycle with rickshaw; and feet!

At nine this morning we drove a mile to the parking lot for the Larkspur Ferry.  The 1500-space parking lot was full!  Glen dropped Gary, Evelyn, and me off at the ferry marina, came back to the RV park, and walked to the marina.
We rode the 30-minute ferry to the port of San Francisco terminal.  


Our ferry looked like this.

On the ride this famous location was seen:

San Quentin State Prison

The exercise yard was filled with waving inmates.

The exercise yard did not look very large!
The Marin County end of the Golden Gate Bridge

The infamous Alcatraz prison
Buildings on Angel Island: the Ellis Island of the West Coast

Angel Island from 1910 to 1940 served as an Immigration Station, processing appx 1 million Asian immigrants.
