A turtle we saw when we were snorkling off of Buck Island - the only underwater national monument.
James running the risk of getting his finger bit off by the turtleSugar Plantion Mill circa:18th century:
A sugar plantation mill from the 18th century. It was really amazing to see. The caretaker came out to talk to us about it and all of the work that he had done to clear the over-growth. 
Here is your history lesson of the day: When they built these buildings they used whatever materials were available. On the island that was coral. They also used the balast stone from the incoming ships. The ships would leave their stone and replace the weight on their ships with merchandice and sugar.
This was a tree on the outside of the plantation
These archways are amazing especially when you think about the tools that they had to make them.
We never missed a photo opportunity
