This morning we went for a walk to and up The Cabrits and around Fort Shirley. The Cabrits are two small volcanic mounds about 600 feet separated from the mainland by a swamp. A naturally defensible location. The entire location was fortified then abandoned in the mid 1800s to nature. Recently, the the main section of the fort has been renovated quite nicely. The rest of the ruins can be found totally overgrown connected by paths. We had the place practically to ourselves so we felt like explorers.

We’ve been enjoying your daily updates and the photos are great. The news, National Public Radio, today noted the strike in Guadaloupe and Martinique had turned violent. No details on the violence or much else. Sounds like things are going to get worse before they get better. We’re holding up our end in the cool, damp north country. Enjoy your fun in the sun?
