Today was a beautiful day. It rained last night and was a little overcast until about noon but then it was bright and sunny. We had a leisurely morning. We decided to go on a harbor tour. The tour was about two hours. The first hour the tour there was about 500 people and it was about 98% Asian. We got on the boat and there was a guy from Colorado and a couple of other folks and us and everyone else was Asian. They tour was nice but the people on the tour were the rudest people I have ever come across. They would push and shove to get a picture, they would step on you. I couldn't believe it. We listened to everything in English and Mandarin. The guy who spoke Mandarin was super quiet and spoke really slow. It reminded me of a women's conference I went to. Only at the conference we went to Jerusalem....almost. this time we went to China......almost. The second half of the tour there was probably 300 people and everyone' was pleasant and respectful of one another. Art and I both got sunburned. I have a nice farmers tan and Art's face is pretty red.
After the tour we walked across the parking lot and toured the USS Midway. It was an aircraft carrier. All I can say is WOW! It was so cool. We were there for several hours. I realized there is no way I could have gone out on a ship for 3-6 months at a time. We had directions to help us find our way around, I am not sure how the navy guys found their way around. The ship was huge. It took us hours to see all we could and we didn't go everywhere. But it was sure fun and all the volunteers were so knowledgeable and nice.
We had lunch down on the harbor. I ordered onion rings and um um they were so good. The only downside was they gave me a bunch and I mean a bunch. I felt bad I couldn't eat them all especially since they were soooooo good.
We did a lot of walking today. I think we will sleep good tonight.
