Yesterday afternoon a group of eight of our PIBC staff got out of the office and took a tour of the tall sailing ship
Armada de la República Argentina Libertad. The ship is used for training and stopped into Guam on its way around the world. It has already sailed around Africa, Southern Asia, Japan and Australia and will head back "around the Horn" to Argentina when it leaves Guam. We saw several of the Argentine sailors coming back from shopping trips loaded down with bags from Guam stores obviously enjoying their shore leave. We, especially Joyce, had a good time getting to know them. They were a pretty friendly group (200 men and 20 women).It was nice to get out of the office for a while and feel the wind "blow through the hair." It would be fun to be out there under full sail on the open sea. Well maybe not since I tend to get sea sick.
Here are Joyce and Melody Plaxton under the Argentine flag. And of course Joyce managed to make some
new friends!
