Pearl Harbor

I was so excited and walked down to feel the temperature of the water straight from bed, without even paying a visit to the restroom!

After a short stroll on the beach, I took the car into Honolulu to check out Pearl Harbor.

I love history and have always been a huge fan of national history museums and such and was excited to get to visit the Pearl Harbor. I studied the 2nd world war in school, but the main focus was whatever the europeans was involved in, not so much what was going on between the Americans and and Asians.

You could pay $10 and get on to t submarine, I didnt think it was worth it and just looked at it fro a distance instead.

The memorial for everyone that passed away in the Pearl Harbor attack.

There was a lot of construction and “coming soon” going on, so it wasnt as good as I had hoped, but they had build a really cool memorial over the sunken battle ship USS Arizona that you got to take short boat ride out to.

I thought it would be lame, just some kind of monument with a bunch of names, but it turned out the ship was still laying there underneath you with some parts still sticking up from the ocean, super cool!

The USS Arizona was huge, the red circle is the end of the ship, about 1/3rd of the ship is still behind me.

There is still oil leaking from the ship, I wonder why they cant clean that up, but I’m sure theres a reasonable exclamation for it.
