Alcatraz

Break the rules and you go to prison, break the prison rules and you go to Alcatraz.

I have no idea where Nem stole the penguin from but on arrival at Alcatraz she would have had to strip off and walk through these showers....

....before being taken to her cell.

 Bells went to visit her.

I went to visit her too.

AS DAD  SAID

"ALWAYS GO THROUGH LIFE TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING"

We nearly didn't make it to Alcatraz.

It was actually the day we ALL jogged along the Embarcadero.

We were on the MUNI by 8.10am for a 9.10am ferry but when it stopped and the driver said

 "Everybody OFF!" at Mission Rock we had to RUN FOR IT.

Thank goodness Husb's calf muscle was firing again.

Thank goodness the Bellies were in trainers not flip flops.

Thank goodness we didn't have much to carry.

Thank goodness we are a fit family.

Thank goodness we just made it at 9.09am.

It was so worth the exertion. 

The only disappointment was we weren't able to see the recreation yard so there were no planks.

(But don't forget we had had to run to get there.)

There was an interesting installation in one of the prison out buildings.

The Number Pi

made up of 100 NFL football shirts hanging on hemp rope with a large 3.

It's very clever.

 The 100 NFL shirts hang on hemp rope- a reference to non violent drug use. The 3 on green astroturf refers to the phrase "Go on the green carpet" ie "Go to court." Long sentences are often called "football shirts".

There was a happy ending to our visit.

 Even Nem was allowed to leave Alcatraz.
