After lunch today I set out on foot again to explore the city at three miles an hour. More of what I see will register in my head at that speed. The afternoon was perfect for walking and I managed to hoof it eight miles from start to finish. The more I saw of Yokosuka the more it reminded me of Corpus Christi.

Both straddle a beautiful body of water and draw many rewards from the sea and the commercial interests it fosters. Each hosts an important U.S. naval base and shares a long history of being a navy town. In the twelve weeks that I've been here, it's amazing how the two cities have paralleled each other's weather. There is one important difference that I took note of. Yokosuka boasts a lot more senior citizens bicycling their way from point A to point B. This is a healthy populace.
Aquí no hay gordos. I like it here,
pero está muy lejos de mi tiera.
