The higher-ups on Kitty Hawk were nice enough to give us hardworking Sailors two four-day weekends, so I’ve had the opportunity to bum around Oppama and take a few photos.
I finally took some shots I’d been wanting to take for awhile. First, I wanted to show how hilly my little town is. I kinda live in a valley, and on all sides there are houses standing on nearby hills. I think it’s funny how you can be next-door neighbors to someone who lives 60 feet higher than you.
Second, the Japanese tend to let houses stand until they literally fall over. Only then do they build something new, and usually it’s the type of structure that’s not meant to last. There’s a lot of really old houses around me.
Check out more photos on my Flickr Site.
There’s interesting things to take photos of everywhere in Japan. I’m going to start carrying my camera with me everywhere I go, or at least more than I already do.

In case you were wondering what I did for New Years, I spent the night on USS Kitty Hawk standing duty. It wasn’t all bad though - At midnight, me and all other duty personnel went up to the flight deck and watched fireworks over Yokosuka Harbor. All the ships blew their horns and the Japanese ships across the bay turned on Christmas light outlines that covered their ships. Unfortunately, this was one of the few times I didn’t have a camera on me. =/
What’d everyone else do for New Year’s?
Your Mom, Ken and I went to the Texas Roadhouse (in Grand Praire, TX) with Di & Ned and Amy & Jon, then back to Di & Ned’s in Arlington for some good ‘ol TX brew and a around of “Cranium”.
Your Mom and I make a pretty good team since she’s so creative and there’s a lot of useless triva in my head that I never get a chance to use.
Then on Monday (01/01) your Aunt Susie came out to Arlington & the Wards fixed an awesome brunch then back on the road again to OK.
Happy New Year, Buddy!
D.O.D.
