Oahu Trip July 2011 Page Two
Terri and I went to Pearl Harbor on the first full day there. It was, to say the least, a very sobering trip. We toured the submarine Bowfin along with the Missouri. Of course we did the Arizona memorial along seeing the artifacts from the attack. The best part of the whole thing was the movie that they showed before taking us out to the Memorial itself. Really nice trip.

These are really big guns. 16 inchers.

One of the flowers planted there at Pearl. It's a "Bird of Paradise". Very uniquie.
Entrance to the Memorial.
Oil still leaking from the Arizona at the rate of around a half gallon a year.
And here is the Memorial itself.
