May 12: Arriving in the metropolis of Norfolk and Portsmouth after being in the Dismal Swamp and other small towns for so long is quite a shock to the system. We managed to survive somehow...and spent a delightful evening at the Commodore Theatre in Portsmouth. It is an art deco theatre that serves dinner at individual tables while one watches a movie. It was a fun experience-like being in a night club.
May 13: We decided to try the local transportation to visit Norfolk which is across the river from Portsmouth. So we purchased all day tickets that can be used on the ferry, light rail and bus systems.
The first leg of the trip was on this paddle wheel ferry to cross over to Norfolk.
Mermaid art decorates both Portsmouth and Norfolk.
Our goal today was to visit Naval Station Norfolk. Once we crossed the river, we then took the light rail for a tour of Norfolk then we navigated the bus system to the Naval base. Naval Station Norfolk is the largest Naval facility in the world. It covers over 4,400 acres. The base provides a tour for visitors so we hopped aboard the bus.

No one need worry about homeland security. The Captain has got it covered. He has the cannon but where are the balls?
