Walls, wals, walls

One thing that amazes me in the Bahamas are the walls. On almost every inhabited Island, there are walls that are built of stone that run every where.


They were built mostly by slaves during the time that the Loyalists came here to try and build a better life after the American revolution. (1700’s). Most of the land is overgrown, since it could never support the crops that were planted.


One can only imagine the amount of people it took to make them.
