Elder Moore Finds a Cannon!

December 20, 2013
We went to the Barbados Light and Power Company office to change the mailing address on one of the power bills for a missionary apartment.  The only parking available was at the Garrison.  So of course we had to take the time to look at things.  The Garrison represents the largest British military establishment of its time in the southern Caribbean.  It is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site.

There is a sports field in the background.  This is where cricket was first play in Barbados.  Now there are numerous sports played here including rugby and horse racing.

Hey I can't see anything!!!

I hope no one lights the fuse!

The main building at the Garrison.  The clock tower registers every quarter hour.
 
This complex has many fascinating things, such as the house George Washington stayed in on his only trip outside the US at age 19.
We will follow this up on a later blog when we have the time to tour this complex more fully.
