Gitmo Travelogue, Monday, 14Sep

Breakfast at the galley (chow hall), and it felt like every other base galley on every other base in the US military. Had everything you'd expect, including fresh fruits and a salad bar (for lunch) Noreen had to go into the office for a bit, so I sat at the coffee shop and had a stogie and surfed the web on the wifi. After that, we drove around a bit so I could take a couple pics of the cacti & trees. Went down to "Windmill Beach" to check it out and while I was walking towards the (bath-warm!) water of the Atlantic, I slipped on the super-slippery rocks and conked my knee. Windmill beach is basically next to Camp America, so you can't take pictures there. The beaches here at Gitmo are mostly rocks, no real sandy beaches. We had lunch at the galley and then Noreen went off to do some work stuff and I sat again at the coffee shop and caught up on my notes of the trip. Around 1700, it started raining
real hard (see pic, taken from Noreen's room looking at the bay). We had dinner at KFC and went to O'Kelly's to watch Monday Night Football. For some reason, O'Kelly's decided to play music instead of having the audio for MNF, so we left and went to the lounge at Noreen's barracks to watch the first game, then to her room for the 2nd.
