Well it was a fine first day of the AGLCA Rendezvous meetings. We had the morning to ourselves so we were able to get out for a walk around the waterfront area of Norfolk. Being the home of the US Navy fleet it should shock no one to find a display of a famous battleship. The Missouri earned its place in history during World War II. We did not have time to take a tour but the ability to walk around it was extremely impressive. I was amazed at the relatively narrow beam to length of the vessel.You can see that from several of the bow on photos below. It was noted that the top speed of the vessels was 33 knots (which is 40 mph) which I find extremely surprising.
Walking along the harbor walk brought us to the Freemason Abbey restaurant. It was a very cool building and the food was very good. We plan to go back for dinner later in the week.
So very appropriate that I close, as did Red Skelton, with
God Bless and Good Night
