Gabriel - Jan 6, 2011

So far its been a memorable week. Right now we're about to
board a coach bus to Pearl Harbor. This Shooting Star Bus is
so much better than The-Bus (Public Transit). We have just
taken a group photo in front of the Pearl Harbor Historic
Site sign with our friends from SNU (Seoul National
University). Our tour guide told us that 2 gallons leak into
the water each day. We are at The Road To War exhibit and
the display consists of two replica model ships. We also got
to see The Attack Exhibit had videos and audio information
there was little time for that. Did you know that Tora!
Tora! Tora! is a Japanese code word which signaled a
surprise. It's 10:00 and we are taking the boat to the U.S.S
Arizona Memorial. I am at the site now and you can see the
remains of different ships. At the far part of the exhibit
they have a list of names to honor our fallen hero. Later we
ended up buying tickets to see the Bowfin Submarine. The
submarine has low ceilings and we were confined in tight
quarters. It's pretty neat that I got to see a Purple Heart
medal. Now we are at the gift shop getting some Peal Harbor
gear. I am about to head back to the hotel so that we can
leave for a basketball game. It's going to be Idaho vs.
Hawaii at San Sheriff Arena. Will be leaving the hotel at
6:15 and will be picking up some SNU students. I am
predicting a Rainbow Warrior victory tonight. I wonder if
its snowing in Connecticut? Thanks for reading.
