Lots of Tours
Since the USS Ohio is the first SSGN submarine out here in Guam, lots of people want to see it. Today a group of Sea Cadets came down to explore the boat. Lieutenant Bryan Wooldrige showed them around explaining the inner workings of the boat. He’s the one that gave Tom, Jennifer’s step father, that awesome tour back in Washington.
Hello from Guam!
So I’ve been in Guam for a little while now, but I’m still trying to get used to the time change. Since I’m 18 hours further ahead in time, I sometimes find myself getting tired around 4 pm in the afternoon where it would be 10 pm (the day before) back home.
The weather is hot and humid. December through June is supposed to be the dry season, called “fanumnangan”. The remaining months are the rainy season, called “fanuchanan”. December through February are supposed to be the coolest and least humid months. If they are, I’m not looking forward to the hot months!
I was in the food court at one of the exchanges using the wi-fi so I could download the new 1.1.3 update for my iPhone. (Okay, maybe a little geeky!) I went to get a drink with my food when I noticed that instead of Hiawiian Punch, it’s called Chamorro Punch here in Guam. Pretty funny. The locals here are called Chamorros. I’m not sure in they have something against Hawaiians.
I’m taking my iPhone with me everywhere trying to snap quick photos of most everything. Check out my tumblr site to follow along.
Updates
Well, the job is taking me on a bit of an adventure. So, it could be awhile before I get a chance to update this site again. I’m going to try to update my tumblr site more frequently. Of course it depends a lot on my iPhone connection. Please check my tumblr site to follow along on my journey.
