More Driving About

For whatever reason, I needed to add pictures with another post.

A few decades ago there was a massive attempt at cattle ranching on Eleuthera.
There are silos dotting both sides of the highway for several miles.

There are still cows left from the failed venture and they seem to have
free roaming rights.  These were taking themselves for a walk from
one side of the highway to the other.

This is an old Anglican church and featured in guidebooks as a
landmark when approaching the town by water.

The piles of conch tell what one of the main industry is for the town.

These trees only have seed pods on them right now and they line the highway.
When the breeze blows it shakes the seeds within the pod and makes quite a
noise similar to the sound of cicadas.

St. Gregory's Catholic church in Gregorytown.  We met the local priest
who splits his time between here, Alice Town.  

This narrow inlet leads to Gregorytown.  It is not big enough for more than
a few boats and is more exposed so best visited by car.

We wondered just exactly "Architectural" meant.

In Governor's Harbor, the original capital of the Bahamas, you can find
the second oldest library in the country.  We don't know where the
first oldest is located, that's not in a guide book.

There are definitely hills in Eleuthera giving some nice vantage
points to look at the water and towns.

Nothing there but a sign.  Good to know, I guess.

This area is the original site of the capital.  Quaint and unique.
This restored building with attached cafe was the best looking
thing in the entire area.
