Day 2-
An early morning cable car ride down to the bay and a cruise out to Alcatraz, in the pouring rain (hey- it was good for atmosphere!). After a tour of the former federal penitentary, we went to Alioto's on Fisherman's Wharf for a seafood lunch! Then after a few hours of R&R there was the MAIN EVENT- Petchitecture!
