Hard days

Sometimes a hard day needs to end gently, with a moment between me and God.

America

And this is one of the reasons why I love America.

Because it is normal for a rabbi to run in a full skeleton costume at a celebration of the dead (Carrera De Los Muertos), which is not exactly how we do it in the Jewish community.
It was beautiful and moving; full of life, vibrance and tribute to those who have passed.

More Exploring - The Embarcadero/Bayfront/Harbor Drive

Because I could, I took a few hours and walked from the Hilton down to the Star of India.

Homecoming, next to the Midway

Bob Hope Tribute

Exploring San Diego

A new city means opportunities to explore.

I found The Olde Globe in Balboa Park just in time to catch my favourite Shakespeare play, 'Much Ado About Nothing.' And it was fabulous.

And I decided to run my first 5k.
9/11 Heroes Memorial Run.

My New Home

Welcome aboard the USS Lake Erie.

I am happy to finally be here.

CG 70 "Don't Give Up The Ship!"

The Quarterdeck, which is outside while in port.

I may not have a parking spot, but I have a chair in the wardroom!

My rack (bed). It's in the middle. At least it is not on the top.

San Diego, arriving.

I made it.
