Cinnamon Bay Loop

Most of the vegetation on the island is 2nd or 3rd growth due to the decimation by the Dutch. Now, one of the most important natural resources on the islands is the bay rum trees. Oils are extracted by boiling the leaves, and that gives it the unique flavor.
Rich sugar plantation owners were buried in above ground crypts. I found these along the trail; it was kind of creepy.
Here are four more. Three of them are for little children.
The walls of Cinnamon Bay Estate were really beautiful with small rock shards arranged in the mortar.
