Day 9

Slept in again, then we went for brunch. We took muni to one of the parks keith likes to go to on the weekend. The place was pretty full, people and dogs everywhere. After hanging out for a while we went for cookies, as apparently that's something they do here.

Then we went for an earlier dinner in order to catch the boat for the night time alcatraz tour. Cancelled. The fire alarms on the island weren't working so they had to evacuate the island earlier today. Who knew it was so easy to escape, all you need is the fire alarms to stop working. They were offering refunds or re-booking to next week, so we had to take the refund.

At least we rode the cable car today. It actually stops right in front of his house, so beyond the novelty, it is actually a useful way for keith to get home. Plus you get to stand on the side all cool looking.
