quote by killearn Kitties
This was not a result of you being stationed there, was it?

Norman back in the late 50's was a sleepy little college town with nothing for a Sailor to get into. Okie City was where the action was. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the Navy being there because the year after I left the Base was closed. I think the illegal sales of booze continued for years after the Navy was gone.

Ibiza, Ibiza Island, located 80 km southwest of Mallorca, Balearics, Spain. A wonderful island which has unfortunately been spoiled by turism during the last 20 years. Almonds and olives are some of the main products growing there.

Atlanta is also the hometown for an airline - Delta I believe, who is now flying direct to Copenhagen.

Edfu

Edfu is an Egyptian city, located on the west bank of the Nile River between Esna and Aswan, with a population of approximately sixty thousand people. Edfu is the site of the Ptolemaic Temple of Horus and an ancient settlement, Tell Edfu. About 5 km (3 miles) north of Edfu are remains of ancient pyramids.

Edfu Temple of Horus:

The town is known for the major Ptolemaic temple, built between 237 BCE and 57 BCE, into the reign of Cleopatra VII. Of all the temple remains in Egypt, the Temple of Horus at Edfu is the most completely preserved. Built from sandstone blocks, the huge Ptolemaic temple was constructed over the site of a smaller New Kingdom temple, oriented east to west, facing towards the river. The later structure faces north to south and leaves the ruined remains of the older temple pylon to be seen on the east side of the first court.

Been to Edfu. The people are so nice here, they are welcoming yet not invasive and very helpful. It's much better then Luxor!

Unst is one of the North Isles of the Shetland Islands, Scotland. It is the northernmost of the inhabited British Isles and is the third largest island in Shetland after the Mainland and Yell. It has an area of 46 square miles.

The island lays claims to many "most northerly" UK titles: the tiny settlement of Skaw in the north-east of the island is the northernmost settlement in the UK; the Muckle Flugga lighthouse, just off the far north of Unst, was opened in 1858 and is the most northerly lighthouse in the UK, situated close to Out Stack, the most northerly rock in the UK.

Eketahuna yep this place really exists here in NZ pronounced eeky ta hoon na.

Eke meaning to embark upon, run aground, Tahuna meaning gravel bank, boulders or stone.

A little country town in beautiful natural surroundings.,The first settlers in 1873 to come to Eketahuna were mostly swedish.,there is a lot of settler history and maori history in this little town.,not sure if i have been there or not, probably passed through it sometime in my life.
