Answer to Monday's Riddle: Life on The Rock...


Excellent guessing, Riddlers! This week, we're spending some time on The Rock. Lizzy's review will reveal a secret about an inmate, and Friday we'll be chatting with Gennifer Choldenko, so be sure to check back! See you all around the book block. ; ) ~ F

I'm an island in a bay, but not a place you'd want to stay. Surrounded by sharks, the water's deep; the shores are sharp, and the men don't sleep. A visit puts you in a cell, it's less like vacation and more like hell. Built to house those deemed bad, my walls have turned some men mad. There's no escape once you're here; I'm the rock they all fear. Hosting criminals was my charge, when kept with me they were not at large.

What am I? Answer: Alcatraz

    I wanted to visit Alcatraz when my family and I went to San Francisco. Unfortunately, we didn't make reservations, and weren't able to go.

    Looking forward to the rest of the posts this week about Alcatraz. Son and hubby got to see it a few years ago on a vacation and they were fascinated about it all.

    Greetings, my kind friend,

    I have timed it as such that I have noted the answer. Yes, I have been in the background and the road back is slow.

    I have seen Alcatraz from the waters of The Bay.

    Be well,

    Gary :)

    I'm super curious about what's going to be featured about Alcatraz! Also, favorite movie with the Rock in it? So I Married An Axe Murderer--one of the best, and funniest, scenes set there :)

    I feel like I would have gotten this. I might have had trouble remembering the word Alcatraz though.

    The riddle certainly described Alcatraz.
