San Francisco Day 4

Today my sister and I went back to the Ferry Building in San Francisco and then up to the Alcatraz tour boat which took us to Alcatraz Island. That was really cool and we toured around the island quite a lot and learned about all of the escape attempts from the jail. Then we went back to San Francisco and walked through North Beach to a garlic restaurant, The Stinking Rose, for lunch. It was really good and really garlicy. We had some roasted garlic, some freshly baked focassia rolls and arugula pesto and tomatoes on Pasta. It rooooccckkked.

Then we went to Telegraph Hill and walked up to Coit Tower. The elevator and stairs were closed at Coit Tower, but we got an nice view from there anyway. After this we went to Chinatown and checked out the first ever Fortune Cookie factory, which was very small but cool. Then we walked back through Chinatown to Union Square, and came back home. It was another fun day and tons of walking!!
