SPM Day 5

Well time has flown, 5 days already! We were booked to leave on the late boat back to Newfoundland, so we had until about 14:15 to do a last bit of exploring. I still had the little circle mystery to solve, or at least find evidence supporting the leading theory. After the customary visit to the Patisserie/Boulangerie we headed for the east side of town. We found many wonders, including an abandoned airport was was partly converted into a housing estate, A ship wreck, A beach covered in old car wheels, the garbage incinerator (pile of burning garbage) and the answer to the mystery... The giant circle munching horse! Yep, it looks like the circles that can be seen on SPM in Google earth are made by horses tethered out to graze in the open areas around the edge of the town of St. Pierre.


After Lunch We went to check out the cemetry, there was a very nice garden in front of it. It is a fine example of how many of the public gardens look in St. Pierre. They obviously put a lot of time into these gardens, but it is well worth it as really make the place look special.
