Sightseeing
I went to the Royal Dockyards today. They refer to themselves as the "most visited sight in Bermuda." The place was completely deserted. I wonder how the second most visited sight was doing. There was even a huge cruise ship in the harbor.
The Dockyards are a former British fortress, abandoned relatively recently. A big chunk is a museum and the rest is, you guessed, shopping! I walked around the grounds of the museum without entering any of the buildings. In spite of this approach, I can tell you with absolute certainty that inside the buildings are models of ships, photographs of ships, pieces of ships, things that used to be on ships, paintings of ships, and pictures of and stories about people who used to work on ships. There, I've saved you the same kind of time I saved myself.
My favorite thing I saw was in the bathroom. The electric had dryer had a sign on it that said, "This hand dryer is censored. Place hands under dryer to start blower." I've very much against censorship, but here I'll make an exception.
