Luckily it was a very nice day, much warmer than we expected San Francisco to be.
The audio tour was quite interesting, including stories from old, released prisoners recounting their time on the rock. It is quite a creepy place, though. I'm not sure how the prison guards and their families lived on the same island as the worst criminals in the country and slept at night.
After the tour we got some good ol' San Francisco clam chowder in a sourdough breadbowl and fish sticks!
With a hurt knee, Labor Day weekend was spent lying around the house, watching the last season of Lost, and checking Craigslist for apartments like an addict. We FINALLY have a place to live in Seattle, we're moving this weekend (thanks to help from our families), and we just have to figure out what to do with our bed out here!
It's been great living out here in California. Going back to a roommate-style arrangement has been interesting, but we're excited to have our own place again. The weather has been amazing, prices - expensive, fun times - awesome. We'll see what adventures await us in grad school and Washington! Anyone who is ever up in Seattle or wants to come visit us sometime, feel free to drop by - we've got an extra room!
