I flew to Hawai'i (the Big Island of Hawai'i is called Hawai'i) today and met up with my group.
I was lucky enough to have the morning free so I could go see the Arizona Memorial.
That was an amazing experience. The droplets of oil that come up from the wreck have a myth to them. It's said that when the last soldier who survived the Arizona dies, then the "tears" of oil will stop. The veterans who served on the Arizona and survived the attack on Pearl Harbor ask that their ashes be buried with their fallen brothers in the wreck. In reality, the oil tanks of the Arizona are corroding, and it's possible that they'll have a major oil problem in the future.
