Hello everyone!

I 've never been to any english speaking country but I'd love to travel through the USA. On my way I would make a stop in San Francisco to visit Alcatraz Island. The island is known for its notorious prison. All problematic criminals that caused trouble in other prisons were sent there. It's said that due to its isolation nobody ever succeeded in escaping Alcatraz. They all failed or died trying. Later, the prison had to close because of erosion. Now Alcatraz is a national recreation area. Furthermore it contains the oldest lighthouse on the westcoast!
