Day 2: June 18, 2019
Day 2 started for Ms. Ramirez's group with a trip to "The Rock," the island of Alcatraz, home to one of the country's most notorious prisons. The place is eerie and fascinating, and they explored many of the nooks and crannies of this fascinating community...and managed to escape back to San Francisco!
In the meantime, Ms. McGinnis's travelers enthusiastically arrived, ready to dive into all that San Francisco has to offer. After the requisite lunch at In-N-Out, they explored some of Fisherman's Wharf. They then headed out on the water to take a tour of the Bay, getting a closer look at the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz.
Both groups took California Street cable cars across Nob Hill to Chinatown, where they explored the sights and sounds of this city within a city, with all its amazing finds from China. To finish the day off, dinner was a mini-banquet of Chinese delights, more than we could possibly eat!
