I don’t think my brother was that excited about the whole thing, I’m sure he would’ve preferred to stay in bed all day than get all wet and cold, but he did it for me so, thanks Rami ☺
We barely got there on time, parked our car and rushed into the 12:10 boat. When we finally got to the Island 12 minutes later, we walked into the building and took our Audio tour headsets.
We walked through the cell corridor; cold and humid, one of them was even called “Broadway” which I thought was kind of ironic.
I got to enter one of the cells and tried to imagine what it would be like to live in such a small space with no personal privacy. To be honest, I kind of felt sorry for the prisoners, I don’t know if that’s right or not, but I guess, in the end they’re just humans who made some bad decisions in their lives, and this was how they paid for it.
I was especially impressed by the Audio tour, guiding us from one corridor to the other, with background sounds and recorded with real prisoner’s voices, making it real and alive.
At the end, I was cold, feet wet, and extremely uncomfortable, I could hardly wait for the next boat to drop us back to pier 33, I really enjoyed this tour and would definitely recommend it, I can’t wait for my family to come visit me in the summer so that I can take them there, I know they’ll love it.
It’s a pity that Alcatraz doesn’t get the publicity and advertising it truly deserves, and I’m hoping to give it justice with my website design.
