Mary, that is.

Bill and I took advantage of one of the last days that are free to California residents (offer ends Sunday). A lot of changes since I was there last.

The highlight of the visit was seeing Fr. Roberto Pirrone's magnificent 24 foot cut-away model of the Normandie. Stunning.

Fun day.

It's about 5 minutes from our house.

Amazing pics, as always!


It's always preferable to take a tour with a guide who knows their facts!

you mean, the QM wasn't built from reclaimed wood from the Lusitania ?
