This is D-Block at Alcatraz. On the bottom are 6 isolation cells aka the "HOLE". If you were in isolation you'd be in there 24 hours/day for up to 29 days, I believe. The cell was pitch black and you were fed water and bread 2x/day and there was a hole in the floor for the toilet. The other cells were for the unruly inmates. This was also called the "Treatment Unit". This block wasn't a 5 star rating by any means.
This is a picture of the Winchester Mystery house. It's in San Jose. Mrs. Winchester had this house built on 24/7 for 38 years to confuse the ghosts she believed haunted her. This house had an interesting history worth looking up!
Here is some interesting and amazing facts about the Golden Gate bridge. Under the sign is part of a cable cut to show you the inside of it as well as the massive size diameter.
Here is the cable car that took us up to Lombard street. The car, in the picture, is being turned around on the turn table, at the end of the line, by the drivers. This was a fun adventure. There are 2 guys that drive it, one in the front and one at the back and they use levers and bells and morse code to communicate and drive it. Quite different.
