Hike Around Angel Island
We spent Saturday hiking up and around Angel Island; something we've been wanting to do since we moved here. Angel Island is a small island in the Bay with Tiburon to the north, the East Bay to the east of course, and the city to the south. Here's a bit of history about the island from the Angel Island Conservancy. "From 1910 to 1940, the island processed hundreds of thousands of immigrants, the majority from China. During World War II Japanese, and German POWs were held on the island, which was also used as a jumping-off point for American soldiers returning from the Pacific. In the ’50s and ’60s, the island was home to a Nike missile site."
We took the morning ferry to the island, hiked for a few hours, and then enjoyed lunch at the Cove Cafe. And the day ended with us watching the Aggies beat Auburn! Whoop!

Bella looks cute. Toby looks, well let's just say, "not happy" and I can't tell what he is supposed to be. The hike sounds great. Do they sell gummi angels in the souvenir shop there?
