Today is Belinda's birthday.
Well here in the U.S. it is. In Australia it was yesterday. Two days of birthday - not bad!
We took a bus tour today. It's one of those ones where you can buy a ticket for two days and then get on and off as you like. We took half of the city tour and then got off at Pier 33 to go over to Alcatraz. In case you didn't know it's the prison that is out on an island (a big rock actually) that closed down years ago and now you can tour it. We took the ferry over and then the long walk to get to the main building where you can take an audio tour. It takes you through the prison and the audio is done by ex inmates and officers. The freaky thing is, that the wives and children of the officers that worked there, lived on the island as well. Not keen on that idea.
After Alcatraz we got back on the bus (after waiting around for half an hour as we missed getting back on when we wanted to and they only come around every half hour) and finished the city tour. We decided to go to the movies for Belle's birthday and she wanted to see "Did you hear about the Morgan's?" It came out today but apparently it has already been released at home which is kind of weird. I always thought all movies came out here first. Maybe they used us as guinea pigs - the test audience? It was an okay movie. Kind of what you expect from that sort of movie where you know there's going to be a completely unrealistic happily ever after ending.
Did that sound a bit cynical?
