Get Ready, Get Set

_C276098

There she is, ready to begin epic day number two.  And the beginning of the "Katherine as subject" part of the trip.  The further into the trip we got, the larger share of the pictures of Kat.

Like this one.  May's Coffee became our defacto breakfast stop.  The coffee was terrible, wicked hot, and not the cheapest, but the place had charm.  It also had these weird fish pastries.  The menu had three varieties, red beans, chocolate, and chocolate with banana. We had the odd tasting red bean variety several times before we actually managed to order the chocolate type we wanted.

It was absolutely empty, not a work day and early morning no one is downtown, not even the bums.

Our day started early so we could go to Alcatraz first thing.  Which turned out to be the way to do it.  Seriously, go early.

The first commute without Herb really demonstrated how much he taught us about the public transportation.  Our first solo trip went off with ease.  On time and everything.

All to get to the ferry landing before 8:30.  Now, riding the ferry was sort of part of the commute, to the destination of Alcatraz Island, but its also under the umbrella of visiting Alcatraz.  Frankly, because you have to take ferry to get there.  So, tomorrow the multi-part Alcatraz series will begin.  Enjoy, jon
