When I was home on the week of March 13th, I took a boat for my first time ever to Alcatraz.
Having grown up in the Bay Area and seen "The Rock" from afar more times than I can count, I had never set foot on the island before.
I took 2 dramamine and boarded the boat. It was interesting to finally set foot on such a historic site as well as seeing the bridge and Marin from a view I had never seen in my life before. A lesson I experienced that day: "One can experience something they have seen all their life anew just by changing one's perspective."
The closest I had been to Alcatraz was on the ferry going from Larkspur Landing to SF when the Native American's were claiming the island as the own at the end of the Civil Rights movement.
