On Wednesday and Thursday while I was at the conference Robert went and "hoteled in" at the San Fransisco PWC office, meaning, he went and and found an empty cubicle and did his work there. He had a great view of the the bay and (I'm guessing) got a lot of work done. So Saturday we both went out and did sightseeing stuff.
First we went to Alcatraz. Very fun way to start the day. We are the kind of people who make sure we see everything if we have to pay a lot to get in, so we were there for like three hours. We saw the orientation video, did the audio tour of the prison, went on a guided tour by one of the rangers, and went on the Agave trail. The highlight of the trip is seeing the prison because they tell you about the famous people who stayed there and about the escape attempts. We would really recommend the ranger tour because they take you to the back of the island and other places that you don't normally get to see on the tour, and it doesn't cost any extra. The Agave Trail wasn't long at all and you also got to go down to where most people don't go. The trail is closed most times of the year for wildlife conservation, but we were lucky enough to be there when it was open.
After Alcatraz we went to Pier 39 and I got clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowel. I have been craving it recently and I just had to have it while we were there. It reminds me of our honeymoon because we went on our honeymoon by Monterrey and I had clam chowder at like every restaurant because I wanted to find the best (Splash Cafe in Pismo Beach definitely won). So we ate, saw sea lions, and then wandered over to another pier and took a tour of a WWII submarine. That was cool. I can't believe how many men they would pack into that space!
We finished the day by seeing some more ships and then getting hot fudge sundaes at Ghirardelli square. Then we took the trolley back to our hotel. We were actually staying in China Town, so we also looked around the shops by our hotel. And that was basically our trip.
