Gitmo Travelogue, Sunday, 13Sep

Had breakfast at Subway (yes, there's a Subway here, along with a McD's, Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut). Got a massage from a visiting spa crew that comes here every few months and Noreen had a facial. We watched the first games on Sunday at O'Kelly's, the "Irish" pub here at Gitmo (Guinness on tap!) and ate Pizza Hut. O'Kelly's has DirecTV, so they get all the games. There were about 50 people in the pub and it was a lively crowd. We left after the first game and went back for a nap. Had dinner at McDonald's (see pic). What's unusual about the picture? Why did I take a pic of a McD's? Because there's NOTHING unusual about it, that's why! It's a regular McD's that serves everything (ok, they didn't have the meat for Angus burgers) a regular McD's does. Went to the outdoor theater to watch a movie, and when we got there at 1915, it was raining pretty good, but by 2000, the rain stopped and we watched the movie ("The Ugly Truth", a generic romantic comedy). The outdoor theater is free and they show movies almost every night, everything almost-first-run (G.I. Joe, G-Force were other movies showing this week). I smoked my first cigar in Cuba (one of the stogies I brought with me) sitting on the bleachers in the "smoking section" of the theater.
