Being stuck in Norfolk for a week actually makes me miss Oswego. It was a much better place to be stuck. You'd think that Norfolk would be cool since it's a bigger city, but I'm finding that's not the case. Our harbor is kind of in the middle of nowhere, so I've been getting pretty familiar with the bus system. I took a couple buses to get over to the coast (which was the only place to rent a bike) and it took about two and a half hours one way. A bus to downtown Norfolk takes about an hour. I've also found that most buses I'm on, I'm the only white person. I just checked out the demographics for Norfolk and wasn't surprised to see that 45 percent of the population is african american. A little change from any of the cities I've lived in. I have found a few fun things to do though. I've been to the virginia zoo, chrystler art museum, went to a movie, and went to a little concert in downtown Norfolk. I also went to work at a habitat for humanity house in virginia beach, close to where I rented the bike. I spent the day hanging sheet rock two girls (Monique and Rosalyn) who were there with a group of volunteers from a navy base.
The highlight of my zoo experience....the newts were pretty cool too
Is Broccoli still good for you when you deep fry it?
They had some really interesting digital mirrors in the chrystler art center. You stand in front of it and slowly your image appears. Then every time you move it gets messed up again.
I've never actually seen one of these remote controlled sail boats until now. New item for my christmas list.
