San Francisco Trip, Part 2

June 7-8, 2005

The SF Museum of Modern Art. This is an example of the strange "art"

Erin outside the SF Museum of Modern Art

Inside the Palace Hotel. Lots of famous people have stayed here

On to the Castro (gay) district. This is the famous Castro Theater

Lots of rainbow flags...

We climbed to the top of Corona Heights - look at the view!

Erin with San Fran in the background

View of the Castro district from up high

Matt and the view

We walked to the Haight Ashbury (hippie) district - a cool gate

This is the old Grateful Dead house - they used to live here

We walked the entire length of Golden Gate Park. Botanical garden...

Erin inside the botanical garden

Matt posing with a flower

We made it to the buffalo! They weren't very impressive

Matt insisted we walk to the Pacific Ocean. We walked so far

I think we walked 10 miles. Then we took the bus back...

Next day - we went to Muir Woods to see the redwoods

Giant redwoods are very tall...

And it was raining - here's Erin

Hard to capture how tall they are

More trees...

Tops of the trees

Erin and Matt with a redwood

More trees...

Erin and Matt with a particularly big one

Ooh, wildlife :)

Over to Alcatraz. We did the audio tour, hence the headphones

Erin in front of a cell

See the long hallway, and how they face each other?

More cells

Erin's locked up

It's still set for the last breakfast menu before it closed

Cells where they kept the particularly dangerous ones

Solitary confinement!

Cell setup of one of the three who escaped - see the fake head?
