From Pacific Island to the Mainland
We are greeted by President and Mrs. Reagan in all their bronze glory. |
"Yes, Mr. President"--a chance to see how the prompters are used. Doesn't he look very presidential? |
One of the attached buildings to the library allows a visitor to board Reagan's Air Force One plane. |
And there is no way we are going to pass up an opportunity to have lunch along the water! |
And the sign says it all! Here is a chance to spend the night in a hostel for $25 per person per night--that is if you like bunking with several ones |
This is one of two working lighthouses along the northern coast of California, both of which serve as hostels. |
The view! outstanding! |
You can see the reason behind the lighthouse function |
Ice plants are always intriguing and makes for a great ground cover. |

This Is Pearl Harbor
This is a view of the memorial from the land area. |
The park has various stops of interest which gives you an overview of the beginning of US involvement in WWII |
The Tree of Life |
You embark onto the platform and walk into the open spans, which is the burial for those who died on USS Arizona |
Below you is the burial site of many |
You can see many parts of the USS Arizona above the water as well as below |
And above this sacred area, we proudly salute the United States flag |
The memorial leaves one with tears in their eyes and pride in their hearts |
