The USS Lexington

Yesterday we toured the Lexington. It is docked in Corpus Christi and can be toured daily. It is a self guided tour but there are volunteers through out the ship to answer questions. It could be an all day tour it you read every thing they have for viewing. There are 5 different areas that you can go to. When we went to the bridge (the picture with the man sitting) we were surprised how small it was. When you watch movies they always seem big. Found out one thing, you can't be fat and hate stairs. Up and down, up and down and the stairs are almost straight up. And if you are overweight some of the areas are a little tight. All in all it was a very interesting day. We have been having mixed weather. Sunny and humid one day then cloudy and humid the next. Have to admit I don't like that humidity. Today the breeze is keeping it comfortable. But it has been between 70 and 80 during the day and maybe 60 at night. Not to bad. The snowbirds are starting to come in so the weather must be ready to change. Went to the store today and we were laughing at some of the things they have that you won't find back on the west coast. Frozen dept. had turkey necks, turkey drumsticks, turkey gizzards and a area with pig heads. The whole damn head, skinned and frozen. Not sure what they do with them but they had a dozen or so of them.
