St. Georges, Bermuda Saturday, June 21, 2008

We have been here a week already. It is hard to believe! The long promised front finally came and it has been rainy on and off for the last couple of days. Here we are having lunch at the Frog and Onion Pub when we visited the Naval Dockyards several days ago.

We went to Hamilton yesterday, Friday, to see the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute. It has an incredible collection of sea shells put together by a Mr. Jack Lightbourn throughout his life and made available to the Institute. It also had an interesting deep sea "ride" on a simulator. We dove to 10,000 feet and in the end had to evacuate due to an attack by a giant squid!!
