A wall along the Bermuda Railway Trail. The Railway closed in 1944. In 1984, eighteen of the original twenty-two miles were converted into a trail. Along the trail and throughout Bermuda walls like this were carved into the limestone and some of these walls date to the 17th century.
Hard to believe it's already the seventh of August and that tomorrow night, I will have been back in Grenada for two weeks. It's been quiet but that's about to change (at least for next couple of days). Diving this morning and then it's carnival Monday and Tuesday. This year, rather than moving the boat to the marina, I'll be staying with friends who live in town. Jouvert starts around 3am tomorrow morning and Monday night mas starts around 8 pm. In an odd twist, early morning events seem to always start on time (perhaps because many participants never go to bed) while evening events in the islands seldom, if ever, start on time.
I've been mulling over a longer post on roads and the paths we take since many of the friends I made when I first arrived in the islands have started to move on from cruising on their boats or at least cruising in the Caribbean. And then I had this great picture of an abandoned sand castle being reclaimed which seemed to raise notions of impermanence which I thought would add to the idea of roads and walls.
And if you look behind the sandcastle to the limestone wall you'll glimpse a hole that seems to allow a glimpse behind the wall. A glimpse perhaps of what lies beyond the wall.
But maybe it's just more sand and water. Anyway, a longer post that will have to wait for another day. For now, it's a pretty morning in Grenada. The sun is out, the sky is blue, and Prickly Bay is fairly calm (for Prickly Bay).
