a quick flight to oahu and a 10 hour layover gave us the chance to visit pearl harbor. it was powerful. we were facinated by the oil still leaking from the ship that has been dormant for so many years, and were sombered by the wall marking the memorial of so many men who lost their lives.

we also visted the national cemetary there and walked among many grave sites marked "unknown soldier, pearl harbor." sombering.

our flight home seemed even longer than our flight there. it was hard to leave paradise and return to reality, but such was our plight. here's hoping we get the chance to go again.
