: Starting my A-Z of San Francisco series with A! We took the @citycruises ferry and explored two iconic A+ islands in one day! 🌉 First stop: Alcatraz Island! We did the audio tour, and it was amazing to learn about the history and hear stories of the prison’s infamous inmates. 🪽Next, we visited Angel Island, Known as the ‘Ellis Island of the West,’ where we took a tram tour. It’s a beautiful place with a sad immigration history, but the views are incredible—on a clear day, you can see the Golden Gate Bridge. Sadly, it was all clouds for us that day! If you’re in SF, exploring both islands in a day is totally doable and so worth it! Which one would you visit first? Next up: Guess the iconic San Francisco destination that starts with B!
