The view from Gun Hill Station, Barbados. September 14, 2001.
Last week Betsy did a post about where we were on September 11, 2001. We were on a cruise that week (a belated honeymoon) and that got me to thinking about that cruise.
Eight years ago today (September 14) we were on the island of Barbados, the last island on our cruise. Barbados is the eastern-most island of the Caribbean islands. Barbados was a British colony from 1625 – 1966, when it became an independent nation of the British Commonwealth.
While on Barbados we visited Gun Hill Signal Station, which was the largest and most important of the British military outposts on the island. We also visited St. John Parish Church (Betsy was still a Methodist minister at that time and enjoyed checking out the Anglican church), and Sunbury Plantation, a 300-year old plantation on the island.
