"These Are My People!" Day 3

We took this Ferry to San Francisco...

And then another Ferry to Alcatraz...
Alcatraz and San Francisco from the Ferry.


The Audio tour! I love audio tours, no joke!



Another pic of San Francisco and then the bridge:)!


There was a weird feeling walking the halls where America's most dangerous prisoners once lived.




The tour...









Seagulls were everywhere! I took this pic, pretty good might I add:).
Next, we went to Lombard Street. Lombard Street is San Francisco and America's crookedest street. The steep, hilly street was created with sharp curves to switchback down the one-way hill past beautiful Victorian mansions. The street is paved with bricks and is an amazing site to see as demonstrated by the photos below.



We made the very long and very torturous hike up it! We made it!


We went to a restaurant called "Side Out" and I spilled...then made it worse by cleaning it up...I didn't want it to look like just one blob right there in the middle so I made it look like a long mark...sheesh!


My mom and I were laughing at some "models" posing as if they were walking and then we imitated them, hehe!


China town...I took the funny pic of the underwear drying, just made me giggle, that's all. China town in San Francisco was not scary at all...NYC on the hand was frightful! I thought I might loose my life there!

Then we did a little light shopping, once again I didn't buy anything...someday I'll own Tiffany's jewelery, it' just not on my priority list right now...so much money! I would rather travel! We also went to some other fancy stores!
This day was definately AWESOME!!!!!

I've always wanted to go to Alcatraz! I've seen it from the distance but never taken the boat out to it! I'm jealous. I have been on the crookedest street though! pretty fun. Did you drive down it or just walk it? I was always impressed with the steep hills in San Francisco! My dad always did a great job manuevering around that city (that's where he grew up).

About Me

Life as it for Tiffany Finley is quite the revolving door, one activity ends and I’m back on the rebound, looking for something to spice it up! Live it up, I tell you! Although, those who know me well, know my limits of “living it up!” A whirlwind of terrible singing, dancing, playful banter, blunt responses, sweet and endearing but firm and serious remarks to children, speaking/slaughtering accents that I’ve spun from memory, are a just a few of my favorite things….I delight in waking to the sunrise, driving to an incredible place of work, where I am able to express my true self regularly! My students call me "Crazy. ” This is where the song and dance comes into play, whether we are learning about adjectives or writing our names on our papers, I’ve got a song and cheer for it all! I’m passionate about traveling and walking down narrow pathways. In my spare time, I enjoy taking walks in the park…I’ve been known to disappear in the dark of the night, only to be found on the swings. I also love to organize and re-organize, I can never quite get things right. I thoroughly enjoy people watching.
