“Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.” – Alfred Lord Tennyson
I am a big fan of history. I love learning about the past. Typically, when I choose a book to read it is either a history book or a biography. It is surprising how much the past can inform how people think and act today. It’s amazing how while so much has changed, there is still a lot that is the same. History can be a great teacher if we allow it to be.
I took these photos while we were visiting Nassau during spring break. If you look carefully in the background of the first photo, you will see the queen’s staircase. There are 66 steps to recognize the 66-year reign of Queen Elizabeth. The relationship between the Carribean and the British Monarchy is complicated (that’s the nicest way to put it). I didn’t get the best photos in my mind because it rained all day while we were in Nassau. When we saw it was going to rain that day, we signed up for a bus tour of the city.
