tales from your favorite (I hope!) wandering RN

Peace Hill - the rest of the story...

So, Margo was ready to concede that all these paths led nowhere and that the beautiful tower we found (which, it turns out, is a sugar mill structure of some sort) was the destination for this stop. I had a hard time accepting this, as many of you can imagine I would, and wasn't willing to give up.

On the way back to the car, I noticed a piece of cloth hanging in a bush and saw the entrance to a small path. I ventured a little way and it seemed the path was long, so I went to get Margo to accompany me. We wandered down the path for a long time. We began to doubt if it led anywhere, but we had hope and pressed on. As we made our way along, we began to hear the sound of waves, which encouraged us along. Our perseverance paid off, as we found ourselves on a beautiful beach which is a sea turtle nesting area. What do you think? Not a bad find...




The beach had a lovely area of rocks that were fun to climb around on. Not the best picture of me, but you get the idea...



And here's the view from that area. Just gorgeous!



And look at this little guy that I found. I was so proud of this picture, which took a lot of patience to get, by the way. Isn't he handsome!



Margo and I agreed that this stop was the best of the day. I think it's because it truly was an adventure. We weren't sure what we were looking for when we set out. We didn't really have expectations, we just had open minds. There is a freedom in that.
