We took a ride to see the slave huts and the salt fields.
A reflective moment.
As you can see, they are not very big.
I couldn’t find anything saying how many people there were in each hut, but I’d bet it was 5-10.
The black spots in the white area are Flamingos, the national bird.
The pink is the salt drying fields. They pump sea water into the fields, then let the sun evaporate the water, leaving the salt.
An egret.
The salt is then collected and loaded onto ships for transport around the world.
The obelisk marks where the ships come to collect the salt. More of a monument today then of its practical use a hundred years ago.
