U.S.S. Hornet

Yesterday we toured the U.S.S. Hornet aircraft carrier in Alameda.  The museum has a lot of Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 exhibits as the Hornet retrieved the astronauts upon their return from the moon.

We walked back and forth all over the ship.  Kit said it was like hiking on a ship instead of a park.

On the flight deck.

A concert is scheduled for tonight, "Slaughter by the Water."  This group uses human power to generate electricity.  Many people where peddling bicycles with generators.  Behind Kit is a speaker tree powered by the guy peddling from a tree limb.
