Where in the world is Justin?

There has been little going on around this household, so I thought I would post a couple of pictures of Justin. On Wednesday Justin flew south to Ascension Island for the celebration of "America on Ascension Island Day." This is an island about 5,000 miles south of Florida, and about 1,000 miles off the coast of Africa. According to Wikepedia, "The island is the location of Wideawake Airfield, which is a joint facility of the Royal Air Force and the United States Air Force. The island was used extensively by the British military during the Falklands War." Justin said that there are is only a population of about 1,000 people and over 25% of those people are there for the military facility. He has been busy hiking...exploring...fishing (or I should say throwing up on a boat), attending meetings, and just have a great time!

Aparently the terrain is much different than Antigua, he said it is what you would picture the moon as looking like!

There are only 2 beaches on the island that swimming is allowed due to rough seas. This cross was one of several, but placed for a fisherman who was killed by a rogue wave.

I'm sure when he returns home next week, Justin will blog a bit for himself...but for now he has little or no internet access!
