  Ft. Charlotte, Bahamas

If you have time to visit only one fort, see this one. It is by far the largest and
covers 100 acres. Located on a hill overlooking the far west end of the
harbour, Fort Charlotte commands an impressive view of Paradise Island,
a good part of Nassau and the harbour. Built in 1788 by Lord Dunmore,
this fort has a moat, dungeons, underground passageways and 42 cannons
, which have never been fired in an act of aggression. Tour guides
(working for tips) are happy to give you a complete history of the fort.
It is one mile west of downtown Nassau, just off West Bay Street.

I look at you and see
My life that might have been:
Your face just ghostly in the smoke.
They're setting fire to the cornfields
As you're taking me home.
The smell of burning fields
Will now mean you and here.

It's just a job.
Grass grows, birds fly,

Keyport, New Jersey

The Kearny family settled the Keyport area in 1714. Their plantation, which featured timber and
produce, and as many as 70 slaves and two sloops, prospered for over a century. The plantation
was then divided and auctioned off, and Keyport was established in 1830. From then until
about 1900, it was a major shipping center. In the mid-1800's, it was a major ship-building center as well.

From 1917 to 1937, Keyport was home to Aeromarine Plan & Motor Company, one of the
pioneers in aviation. They introduced the first electric starter, first international airline, first metal-clad
plane, and numerous other "firsts" in aviation.

Keyport's rich history is captured in the Steamboat Dock Museum at the foot of Broad Street at the
Bay and the Keyport Fire Museum and Education Center on Broad Street.

Basílica de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles, Cartago, Costa Rica

Basílica de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles (Our Lady of the Angels Basilica), a basilica in
Costa Rica, located in the city of Cartago and dedicated to the Virgen de los Prados, officially
known as la Virgen de los Ángeles (the Lady of the Angels). The basilica was built in 1639
and was partially destroyed by an earthquake. The basilica has since been restored and
constitutes a unique mix of colonial arquicture as well as the XIX century byzantine style.

The Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels is dedicated to the Virgin of Cartago, a small
representation of the Virgin carrying the infant Jesus, said to have been discovered by a
peasant girl in Cartago. Due to the dark complexion of the stone, she is sometimes
affectionately called "La Negrita" or "Reina de Cartago" (lit. Queen of Cartago). In 1824 an
official decree declared the Virgin of the Angels the official patron of Costa Rica.

The Basilica is the object of extensive pilgrimaje and visitation by believers throughout the
country, many of whom join in the celebrated 22km walk to the basilica during the romería
