a very quick introduction to bermuda. 2

Here is a little of what Bermuda looks like. Take these, multiply by 10,000, and you’ll have a decent idea of how amazing that country is. I’ve never met such friendly, hospitable people in my life, nor seen such beautiful beaches.

 
That’s the hotel we stayed at, thanks to Barritt’s. They served us breakfast on the patio every morning, with this view:

 
Parts of Bermuda reminded me a lot of San Juan, particularly the forts:

 
Hamilton is the main city on the island. We were within easy walking distance of all the action. It looks a lot like most ports in the Caribbean, but it’s way more unspoiled and far less tacky.

 
Horseshoe Bay is a pink-sand beach on the South Shore. We were there in the afternoon with probably fifty other people. How is that possible?

 
We snorkeled at Elbow Beach. The reefs are really close to shore, and the fish are friendly.

 
The whole town of St George’s is on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, because of things like the Unfinished Church:

 
To do next time: swim in Tobacco Bay.

 
This is what Bermuda looks like from above. The whole island is only 21 square miles.

 
And this is who I have to thank for our vacation: Barritt’s for buying it for us, and Matt for winning the trip with his cocktail recipe.

 
There are about 130 more photos to come, but I have to have some spare time first!
