My Time at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba

While I was in the Navy, I was stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. I worked in the prison there, escorting detainees to their appointments and interrogations.

While I was stationed there, there was not much to do with your free time , so I would spend my time at Glass Beach looking for lovely little sea glass gems. The beaches there are made of coarse sand and small rocks, and sea glass.

On this beach, there are also lots of natural sea sponges in all shapes and sizes too. I thought about collecting some all though they smelled terrible. So I left them.

Another regular beach goer we would run into are Rock Iguanas. These things are huge and some of them are VERY aggressive. I think that they were aggressive due to being fed by humans.

I had some good times at Guantanamo and I am glad that I got to be part of history but, I was ready to leave that place..that is for sure. Too hot, humid, and not much to do.

Shrinky Horse Pin

Okay...I finally photographed and listed this horse pin to Etsy. I promised that I would get it up here so everyone could see. I made this horse with shrink plastic. I colored with colored pencils, cut him out, and cooked him. I used E6000 ( I think that is what it is called) to glue the pin to the horse. Let me know what you think.
