Sunday afternoons can be a little boring after church so we usually load the kids in the car and go sight seeing. You'd think after 3 1/2 months we'd run out of things to look at on a 70 sq mile island but there is so much history here that we still have lots to see and do!
A lot of things were destroyed during the war and not many of the churches survived. This old bell tower is the only original part left of it. The church itself was rebuilt a few feet away.
They have all kinds of peace memorials for the fallen here and this probably my favorite. On a rainy day you can see the words a lot better but it's still beautiful all the same. (and a tad bit funny because it reminds me of the Hollywood sign)
One of our good friends told us about this awesome spot where an old satelite was left. We were really excited to see it but we pulled up we saw several men in army uniform with guns. I immediately freaked out and came up with a crazy theory that the government was "secretly," still using the satellite and we were going to get shot for trying to see it.
In reality they weren't real soldiers but a group of friends about to play a game of paintball. Pretty sweet place to play it actually. They requested I take their picture after laughing at me for freaking out.
That white line is the reef!
That tiny island is Managaha (we have a great view of it from our house).
