Then ping pong at the 'Inovation Hangar' near the 'Palace' structures
Then we saw the Golden Gate Bridge from Marina Avenue.
Then Alcatraz.
We ate at 'Dorian's' - a funky restaurant with a creative decor. (The food was 'underwhelming' as Katie put it.)
It was cool to see the trolleys -- some motorized and some still powered by electric cables overhead.
We drove up one of the many hills in the city -- we're trying to figure out what angle grade it was -- probably 50 or 60 degrees. Katie noticed that ahead of us was a small car with a standard shift. We were glad when it pulled away before we came up behind it near the top of the hill!

| Alcatraz Prison -- 1 1/2 miles from the mainland |
 |
| Only one successful prisoner escape from this island was in 1962 three bank robbers dug a tunnel with sharpened spoons and swam to the mainland. The prison closed in 1963 due to high costs of operation. |

| It was windy and cool on the bay so this was the world's fastest diaper change. |
