Day 16:

Left: San Fransisco at 6:45pm
Arrived: Santa Cruz at 9pm
Distance: 88 miles

We headed into San Fransisco city at about 11am and went around some of the touristy places. At 3pm we got on a boat out to Alcatraz prison. You can walk around the island (which is actually a bird sanctuary) and look around the prison there.
We did an audio tour where you're givin head phones and you walk around the inside of the prison and listen to the tour. The prison itself was cool, we stood just outside Al Capone's cell. People have escaped from the prison contrary to popular belief (or what I thought anyway).
We headed to Santa Cruz (about 80 miles) at about 7pm and had a great BBQ over an opne fire followed by quite the drunken walk on the beach. hey, it's california, why not?
