The prison sounds like an unusual place--good on them for their programs to change prisoners instead of just house them until they die. I love blogging because I hear of places I'll never see for myself.

We've spent time there for her daughter's wedding a few years ago. A beautiful place! Long before I had a blog or ever met you. Isn't it a small world. I sometimes wonder how often people's paths cross, people who know each other, or will know each other, like that.Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-59690199316306672572015-01-09T02:48:57.511+10:002015-01-09T02:48:57.511+10:00The landscape photos are so beautiful !

Most of the slaves came from Senegal I once have seen on pictures the place where they were checked, chained and put on ships ! Awful !
