Creator's Key Takeaways
We have made it to our last port before crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
It's not a place that many people get to go cuz there's not really much to do, but the history is pretty incredible.
I love this place. Simier poor on.
It's gorgeous, but also really sad history. But, um, it's cool cuz it also has nature as well.
