Travis and Isaac visit to Barbados/Guyana

Travis and Isaac had planned to come visit us here in Georgetown, Guyana and bring Church books and materials for kids here in Primary, they were donated by members of Isaac's primary and Ward members. Isaac also had his 3rd grade class donate school books for kids here in a 3rd grade class.
We met them in Barbados and spent a few days there,, Note the beautiful clear colorful water in the Carib. Ocean.. Then notice with Isaac standing on the Sea Wall in Guyana, the color of the North Atlantic, very very brown, Three very large rivers flow from the interior of a tropical rain forest into the Atlantic, so that is why it is so brown..
They brought and delivered the Books and materials to the 3rd grade class, and to the Primaries here.
The following pictures are:
One: A hike in the North part of Barbados.
Two: We met them at the airport in Barbados,, Exciting time.
Three: Travis found some old ( many) Land Rovers... there are alot here, as this was English Country, and old English trucks, and Rovers, are still used here... But Toyota has taken totally over with vehicles.
Four: Travis and Isaac snorkeling,,great water.
Five: Travis and Isaac on a beach where we had lunch.
Six: Bridgtown shot of the Carib. and the kids. The capital of Barbados.
Seven: Tavis and Isaac and the boat and boatsman we had been on all morning..
Eight: Isaac on the Sea Wall in Georgetown Guyana.. Th ocean is brown here and not inviting, in fact no one swims here. The sea wall was built by the Dutch years ago, to keep the ocean out. Georgetown is about 3 ft. below sea level. and the wall is about 250 miles long... Next blogg, we hope to have some experiences to share after we do a planned visit into the interior for a project with the Amerindian Villages. Lamanites to you who understand..
