16 December 2017 the 2 Freetown Stakes had a combined activity at the St. Edwards secondary school.  It was suppose to start at 9:00, but we know how they start those things here so we arrived at 10:45 and they still had not started.  We had been to King Tom Cemetery before, but did not take a camera, so while we waited we walked to King Tom Cemetary, it was just down the road a little way. 

 This is one of the prettiest, and calm places in Freetown.  Below is a plaque that tells about the cemetery in English and below the English is Krio. 

 Their are two different colors of head stones.  The gray section are graves from the 1919's. 

 The white head stones are from the 1930's and 1940's.  They are all military folks buried here.  They were mostly from England, but there were some from Australia, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands.  They were from all branches of the service, army, navy, and air force. 

 Pictured above is the Navy, I had to get a close up because my Dad served in the Navy. 

 Behind Brent in the picture above is a big cotton tree.  Below is a shot towards the ocean.  The cemetery is right on the ocean and there was a cool breeze blowing.  It was a pretty spiritual experience. 

 While we were there these fishing boats went by.  They had been fishing all night and were returning to Freetown to sell their fish. 

 The picture above is were we sat and watched the ocean for a while.  It was so peaceful and there are so few places like this in Freetown.  No other noise except the ocean.  It was wonderful. 

 Below was a guy that was fishing just off shore.
