| The coastal cities just don't feel much like England |
 |
| For our latest Preparation Day Venture we went to a place called Sunderland Point on the Western Coast of England, about a one hour drive from here. It is a little village that is isolated by the tides that go in and out. Before you go, you must check the tide times and avoid anything close to high tide. |
 |
| The drive into Sunderland Point. The road is still wet from the morning high tide. |
 |
| Mudholes that make parts of it look like the moon. Note the boats just resting on the grass. |
 |
| Apparently quite a dangerous place |
 |
Sunderland Point was once a slavery port. Slaves arriving from Africa were sold on these shores. No one is quite sure who Sambo was, but his grave speaks of the many who died on these shores. Children keep Sambo's Grave decorated |
 |
| And if you want to go to church (every other Sunday) be sure the tide is OUT! |
Just doesn't look like England
 |
| More like the caves in the West Desert..... |
 |
| And the village of Sunderland -- more like a Ghost Town |
 |
| Give my regards to Sambo |
