Back to Douglas

It was a quick ride back up to Douglas. A very nice gentleman shared the  cabin with us. He is retired and takes the train often to and from his walks. There is a series of public bypasses that people can use to walk all over the island. He is a birder and we confirmed with him the types birds we had seen. He told is stories and rumors about the 5 billionaires that " live " on the island. It's more of a tax haven for them than it is a home. He was sweet
