Last night my good and long-time friend, A, flew in for a visit. So today we spent a little bit of leisure in the morning to allow for jet-lag and then headed out for lunch with David and some necessity shopping (including petrol). Then we were back to San Pedro for some site seeing.

First stop, unintentionally, was the Korean Peace Shrine which overlooks the Pacific Ocean very near Fort Macarthur Museum.



Then, with revised directions, we headed to our next stop - Fort Macarthur Military Museum. This museum center is the bunkers and gun implacements put in place to protect the coastline during World War II. This place was not the easiest to find (well hidden) but excellent to see!! I think my favorite part was seeing pictures of Fort Macarthur taken in 1940's and then the same building pictured in 2002 - way cool!



That brought us directly near the Mammal Rescue Center and so we looked in on the seals and such.




Last stop - Point Ferman to get a better look at the coastline and take a look at the lighthouse. The lighthouse had already closed by the time we got there but we enjoyed the park and the outside views of the lighthouse.




At that point we figured we'd done quite a bit of walking and could take a break before meeting David for dinner. So back to the house we went. Tonight we head to Island's for dinner.
