Merry Christmas from Norfolk, VA


I got an underwater digital camera for Christmas. I cannot think of a more perfect present. Be prepared for lots and lots of underwater pictures from now on. I didn’t take it underwater in Norfolk, VA where we were in dry dock. It was freezing most of the time. I had to go buy myself a coat. This dry dock wasn’t nearly as fun as the dry dock I had in San Francisco. I had to work for part of this dry dock, but it wasn’t too bad. I wasn’t allowed to take pictures in the shipyard because there were a lot of military ships there. I did manage to get a night shot of downtown Norfolk and a picture of my cabin on the ship. The coolest part of dry dock came right at the end when we were leaving and we passed part of America’s North Atlantic Fleet. There were lots of aircraft carriers and big ships that I don’t even know what they are called. The neatest part was when we passed a submarine moving on the surface with people standing on it. I'm back in the Caribbean now. It's back to vacation...I mean work. Merry Christmas!
