8 September, 1998
Back in the States. Back in the real world. Back where I am now.
Spent the last several weeks once again aboard a US Naval vessel, the Clark (FFG-11).
Myself and 5 other Reservists met the ship in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba where there is a US Naval base at and we got on and left there a few days later to conduct Counter Narcotics Operations in the Caribbean. ^ some days later we pulled into Ocho Rios, Jamaica for several days before we left again. Not a very impressive place at all. The Bahamas are much nicer and cleaner by far.
Then floated around for 7 some more days before we ended up in Cozumel, Mexico where I was at for 2 days before catching the flights back home.
Cozumel is an awesome seeming city. Very clean and nice looking. I recommend it if you are thinking of a trip to the Caribbean.
During that time I did read several books. I forgot to write down all the titles before today but I can tonight and get them into this weeks additions to the journal.
Got back at midnight on Friday and lazed around Saturday. Sunday we went to the local festival, Artsplash, and I went over to visit my friend Pat at Doug-1’s house. Stayed up way too late and go into a bit of trouble for it. Did very little of nothing all day Monday. The wife went shopping with her sister for most of the day while Jake and I mowed the yard. It had been over a month since the last mowing so it was a total of 7 some yard bags worth of yard clippings.
