Alcatraz Trip

This weekend I will be going to Alcatraz for a photography workshop with Photoalliance. We will arrive in San Francisco at 8am Saturday morning, go to Alcatraz, spend the night (!), and then return Sunday at noon. I'm really looking forward to the trip, it going to be a lot of fun but I get to sleep in a cell all by myself. Oi! Below is a picture of the floor plan of Alcatraz. I will be sleeping in Cell Block D, which I have nicely circled for you so you can find it easier ;). I'll let you know how the trip is. (I'll try to make a blog about it.)

Los Angeles, Day three, Disneyland overload.
Its "the happiest place on earth," of course you need an overload of pictures. 49.... have fun!
So Disneyland was fun, but really hot. We spend the day going on the air conditioned rides and drinking water. We took a lot a pictures of us, the rides, where the secret cameras are, and playing dress up in the stores. Also, Omar need to get his revenge on Mickey when the mouse touched him as a little kid. I was thinking about this post the other day and I want to go back. Anyone want to join me? :)
oh, I need to put the videos on here too... hopefully I'll get to that soon... lol

Los Angeles Continued
Day two
Yay! I've been albe to get back to these... though photobucket has changed their layout so I can blog as easily as I used to be able to. grr.

So L.A., day two. We went to Ana's school because she had to turn in some papers (which were due til the first day of shool). We were able to see what she would be doing in the near future. There were students practicing on patients in the school! It was cool to see. Then we explored the campus a little. We saw the food center, the swimming pool, which looked so inviting since it was so hot out side. Then when we were to look for apartments we found our selves lost on the highway and wound up back in Santa Monica. It was so much fun there playing in the water. There was a shell of a lobster on the shore that intrigued us all. We even gave it a body. After that we drove to Univeral City Walk and ate dinner there. We also had our second concert of our trip which we watched while we ate. After dinner, we walked around Universal and then went back to the hotel to watch, I believe, Bend it Like Beckham.






Ana (and us) at her new school, USC School of Dentistry. At the school, there was a teacher on the wall of fame (or something like that) named Harry Potter!








The beach in Santa Monica on Hwy 1.








There was a stair case leading down to the shore and the waves were crashing on the rocks where he was standing. He wanted to get a picture of the ocean splashing behind him and in the process of doing so, he got the back of his clothes all wet.











This is the shell of the lobster we found. It was really cool to find and seeing that his eyes were still on the shell.


The inside


The body Omar drew for it. Right after I took this picture, the tide came in and washed it away.


Look! A lizard!


At Universal City Walk




















The other concert we saw that weekend.


The Hard Rock Cafe guitar. Mmmmmm
