Angel Island

If you've never heard of Angel Island before, it's ok, neither had I before we went.  The only reason we learned about it was because they only had tickets for the Alcatraz & Angel Island Tour left.  In any case, it's an island that is kind of a hidden San Francisco treasure.  It was used for soldiers during the Cival War (though no shot was ever fired in anger) and also as a Chinese POW camp during WWII.  Now days it's a tourist location and a local boating harbor, the only people that live there are employees with the Parks Service.

We're pretty sure this is Melanie's house that we can see from the Ferry.

You can't see very well, but those are sea lions sunbathing.

These kids are so cute.

Eucalyptis trees.  They're not native to the island and killed off lots of wildlife.

I love ferry boats.  Love love love.  Plus, San Francisco Bay is really chilly during July and August!
