That is why the additions are so obvious as they are intended to be removable as well. Or so we were told!<br />Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06474099776109460478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-70903585566883939772017-11-07T18:01:08.247-05:002017-11-07T18:01:08.247-05:00Several of the views that we had along the east co...Several of the views that we had along the east coast on this hike made it worth it not just from the church! :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-35157234147429896512017-11-07T17:58:59.557-05:002017-11-07T17:58:59.557-05:00Too funny that we saw the same house that you did,...Too funny that we saw the same house that you did, although we have seen that happen to us on someone else's blog before!<br /><br />We are having a great time. There really is so much to see and do and there is just no way that we will get to it all. Looking forward to getting in another hike or two before we go though. Really need to get ourselves up to the north end of the island as well.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-6744675299119592642017-11-07T17:52:29.743-05:002017-11-07T17:52:29.743-05:00Loved the view from "your" church Mark! ...Loved the view from "your" church Mark! :-)<br /><br />No, we haven't been to Stewart Hill yet, it is a little more inland and we haven't hit that area yet.

We make sure we have lots of water with us when we are hiking and even on this hike we ran out just before the little community of Martins Bay but we knew that there was a place to buy more which we did. Definitely no alcohol for us while we are hiking, at the end of the hike yes but not during the hike.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-68011433470751267272017-11-07T17:42:36.827-05:002017-11-07T17:42:36.827-05:00Thanks!

We were there with friends from Wisconsin, and two of them almost had heat stroke from not increasing their water intake (no problem with increasing their beer intake. Ha!). They also had a problem with packing in too many sun-filled activities each day. You two have done a good job of pacing yourself in the heat and not over-doing the alcohol which dehydrates the body.

It is near where 2 roads intersect. Remember, wanting to pick big avocados from the tree, by intersection, as we stopped at stop sign! LOVE the porch roof trim on "typical" house. It was 1 of ways I recognized EXACTLY where you were in Barbados! Keep having great time, you've both earned it! You'll be ready for coastal humidity in Mexico!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18239056834765220303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-59978610177383210182017-11-06T21:41:08.657-05:002017-11-06T21:41:08.657-05:00Glad you liked my "church".
