Events:
06:40 PM, Leaving San Jose, CA
10:30 PM, Stopped in a hotel

First time we have to wake up for an appointment!! We had to be in SF, Pier 33 at 9:30 AM for the visit of Angel island and Alcatraz. We took the boat to visit first Angel Island. Not much interest in there which was the one of the immigration: Elis Island of San Francisco. We had a tour in a small old trolley pretty crappy. Alcatraz then was much more interesting! We walked by ourself first and then had an audio tour included in our expensive tickets bought online 3 days before!!

After the visit, back home in San Jose to get all our stuff, load the car. There, Delex (A good friend from school, “hello delex!!!”) passed by for a coffee before we took the road. We finally left San Jose to go to Santa Cruz and see the sunset (which was opposite to the beach...) but we had fun in a arcade room!! 4 little boys! Nat joined us until Vegas, we are now 4 in the car and could fit everything in the trunk (I was good in tetris :P)

Bad news, we didn’t reach LA at night. To not arrive a 4AM, we stopped 250 miles before and will wake up early!
