San Francisco View from Coit Tower

After we left Alcatraz, Ken suggested we walk to the Coit Tower in San Francisco. It's basically a needle on one of the highest points in San Francisco and allows a panaramic view of the city.

As we walked to the tower, we took a picture from the street looking down the hill. There are many big hills in SF. Notice how the cars are parked perpendicular to the curb!

Other pictures shown are of the city of San Francisco and the Bay Bridge. Also pictured is Alcatraz (the island in the middle of the water). It seems like it would be an easy swim for an escaped convict to the shore, but the water is very rough and very cold.
