5/23 Update from
the ship's librarian, Laurel Angrist:
We’re back after a nice break in Norfolk, VA where
everyone had a chance to stroll down the quiet tree-lined avenues, sample some
tasty southern fare and enjoy a few lovely nights out on the town! It was
wonderful just to stretch our legs and meander amongst the old-fashioned town
houses and shaded public parks.
Some among us opted to visit a museum or two to immerse
ourselves in the local culture and marine life. Nauticus, the naval history
museum and the Chrysler Museum of Art were two standouts!
A large contingent of cadets also headed further afield
to nearby Virginia Beach where the bustling waterfront area came to life with
the first rays of the summer sun. Nice sand and excellent local beers made for
a fabulous time ashore.
Now begins our long stretch across the Atlantic,
hopefully avoiding some blustery weather and swells. Stay tuned for more
updates soon as we make our way across the pond.
