I didnt answer the question correctly
Well, the most exciting thing that happened to me over this summer. I really
didn't have much exciting things happen to me this summer, except sleeping,
and watching TV. I did have one exciting thing happen to me over the summer
though. I had gone to Alcatraz, where lots of infamous criminals had been.
I had taken the "audio tour" and there was a lot of information about the
blocks of jail blocks in the jail.
They named each of the 3 "streets." One was Michigan Street, Main Street,
and some other thing, I forgot. The floor was made out of concrete that looked
like it hadn’t been repaved in ages. There was a lot of cracks in the
floor, probably from the earthquakes that had hit San Francisco since the
50s.
The Audio Tour had said so much information about each little thing, and
had these little sounds of jail cells closing and opening and ringing and
whistling and shouting, you name anything that was in the jail, they put
it on that tape.
The place that was spent most time at was the cafeteria. There was just a
bunch of blue benches in rows, and a space in between some of them, where
a table would be. The tape player told me that they had been served very
good food, because the rest of the time that they were there were very bad
conditions, there was no heat, because the windows were always open, and
the sea breeze kept blowing in the jailhouse, and it wouldn't have been pleasant
at all.
After the audio tour, I had lost my family and walked around for like 10
minutes before I found them again. We got on the boat and went back to the
mainland, resuming the rest of our vacation to San Francisco.
