More Bermuda

This will be just a picture post.  Some photos from our tour of the island.  First, is Talaria in the "Convict Bay" anchorage.  Not sure how the anchorage got its name.

 This building is the St. Georges Dinghy and Sports Club.  Operations headquarters for the ARC rally and where all the festivities take place.  

 More pretty pastel houses!  Are they not beautiful?  Love the purples, yellows and orange colors.  

 This is the Royal Navy Dockyard in Hamilton, Bermuda.  

 The Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity in Hamilton, Bermuda.  Beautiful church.

 Different perspective on the church.

 Gombey dancers at Harbor Nights - a street festival in Hamilton, Bermuda.  This form of dancing was not considered respectable by the "slave masters" so slaves were allowed to dance only once per year.  They danced in masks to hide their identity for fear of retribution from the owners.  All the costumes are handmade and intricate - no two alike.  Very lively dance with amazing drummers keeping the beat. 

 And finally a testament to Bermuda's sailing tradition - a sailing ship wind vane on top of the clock tower.  Very cool indeed.
