Well its not what you think, this has to do with my last post on spending the night on Alcatraz. We pretty much had the run of the place, at least the cell block. Apparently it was bird nesting season, and parts of the island were closed off. We had a choice of sleeping in “D” block in a cell, or in the hospital wing. It was kind of interesting how it all worked out, all the girls decided to spend the night doubled up in cells in “D” block, and the guys spend the night in the hospital. One of the executives where I work spend the night in solitary in the hospital, one of the IT guy’s (Chris) spend the night by himself in the Pharmacy, and me and another IT guy (Alex) bunked in the operating room. We had discussed spending the night in the hydro-therapy room, but that was just a little too edgy for me at the time.

I actually got a good nights sleep, aside from staying up till 1 AM running around the place. I think we got a better nights sleep than the girls because the noise the birds were making just echoed through the cell blocks, and it was much more muted in the hospital.

Apparently like one in a billion people can say they spent the night on Alcatraz, someday I’ll have to go back and take the tour. Having grown up here, I’ve never visited the place before…
