A free trip

I just sent a similar message to one of my groups. If you were given a free trip to a monument where would it be? Without hesitation I said Alcatraz. That may seem odd to some, but that's where I would go. In 1972 it was made part of the Golden Gate National Park. There are now tours offered. At one time it was a maximum security prison and is now closed because it was too expensive to run. Since I have gone on tours of our local prison I think it would be interesting to see the difference. On the way I could take a look at the Statue of Liberty.
