Back Dating 12/22

My sponsor was at the airport when I arrived. Found that I am checking in with a seamen master-at-arms, just out of a-school, and a second-class culinary specialist. Nice people.

Sponsor showed us around, checked us (myself and CS2) in to the hotel. Our hotel rooms are actually considered luxury apartments, but with the same ammenities as a hotel. So they have full kitchens, bathroom, living room/bedroom, and small wardrobe area. (I'll post pictures later.) I took that opportunity to change and throw my hair in a pony tail real quick. My hair was so greasey that it looked wet...😒

Then we went to base to take care of some paperwork. Very short day. We were done by like 11am. I got my phone carrier taken care of. 

We went back to the hotel and I unpacked, then slept for like 4 hours. I woke up and got changed and decided to go out to buy some groceries (around 730pm). 

Near my hotel is a road called American Alley. It has the most cliche American Franchises such as Cinnabon, Papa John's, McDonald's, etc.

I bought some simple groceries like bread, milk, cheese, and bottled water. And then I headed back to my hotel. Curfew here is a serious thing.
