Yes, island and sea ARE eternal. Down with illegal gambling. Do we need that?

I was down there last year, but did not see any of those tree sculptures. Amazing. We did see a lot of the devastation and drove to a restaurant that literally was no longer there. We were using GPS to find a pizza restaurant that was highly rated. When we got to a spot on the road, the GPS said, "You are there." We all looked out the window and saw a bare foundation. Sad. Not just because we couldn't get the pizza, but what a stark reminder of all that was lost.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283987261815273280.post-6968424076026552302011-04-27T14:40:55.722-05:002011-04-27T14:40:55.722-05:00Great pictures!
