The fort, from a distance |

Pretty ocean view |

Seriously, it was chilly |

Salutes to the old, old wooden ship |

After departing the Tree of Life, we made
our way to a fort. The fort is actually a World Heritage Site, a shown above.
It was a very chilly day, hence the reason for hats and scarves.
The for was big and made of stone. We
spent a good amount of time walking around it and looking at the ocean. It
reminded me of how I can't wait until it's warm again and we can go to the
beach.
After walking around for a bit, we made
our way to the museum. Inside, there were cool artifacts that were recovered
from the sight, as well as photos of people around the sight. In the museum, we
saw old boats and bones of child who died way way long ago. The put the
children into these bowls, and that's how they were buried. We saw old jewelry,
and snake skeletons too. The snake represented fertility, so I guess a lot of
people back then wanted to have babies.
We ended our museum tour with a tasty
strawberry smoothie that Charmaine ordered, and boy was it delicious! On our
way out, we walked along parts of the beach where the tide was out, and picked
up some shells.
We headed back home to get ready for a
night of partying!
