Our cottage at Cinnamon Bay
First night at Cinnamon Bay
Beautiful flower
Termites Nest - notice the trail up the tree to the left
Cinnamon Bay Factory Ruins
Notice the brain coral and other coral making up the supports - much stronger than the bricks/mortar they could make on the island at the time
Critters seen at the Ruins
Millipede which the locals call "gongolo" - legend says that it will make you blind if it spits on you - the venom it secretes can cause temporary blindness
Spider - non-venomous but can grow very large - could not get it in focus
Snail party
Rum bin at the factory ruins
America Hill Ruins - a short but uphill hike from Cinnamon Bay factory ruins
What a view!
Some sort of wild peas that the honey bees love!
Goat herd along the way to the South End towards Salt Pond Bay
Wild donkeys!

I was able to swim with an Atlantic Green Turtle! Who knows, it may have been Reed's relative!
Tune back for more pictures and video soon. I may get the pictures on tomorrow, but Pete and I are headed to North Carolina for the weekend so I may not get to the video! New news: My car and I are officially Virginians and I accepted a permanent PT position at UVA Medical Center!
