点评:My friend whom I was doing excursions with insisted that St. Patrick is the historic district of Grenada, so having visited Leapers Hill/Morne des Sauteurs, I could see why. The lady from the adjacent church/parish centre (I forgot her name) was more than happy to take us to the site when we wandered in. She was very knowledgeable and keen on sharing her expertise with us.
One must enter the cemetary belonging to the church. On the left in a brick wall, is a statement indicating the first known recording of sickle cell disorder, a disease which inflicts persons of West African descent. Furthermore, the lady indicated the significance of status at the gravesite, whereby more affluent persons had marble headstones. It was quite interesting the stories shared by our guide behind this occurence.
The monument marking Leapers Hill is quite an outstanding one, with its back to the sea. The view from there is amazing. It was a gorgeous hot day, so the islands of Carriacou, Diamond Island, Ile de Ronde and Ile de Caille were clearly visible on the right of the horizon.
I recommend visiting this landmark should the opportunity arise!
翻译:和我一起短途旅行的朋友坚持认为圣帕特里克是格林纳达的历史街区,所以在参观了 Leapers Hill/Morne des Sauteurs 后,我明白了原因。当我们闲逛时,邻近教堂/教区中心的那位女士(我忘记了她的名字)非常乐意带我们去现场。她知识渊博,热衷于与我们分享她的专业知识。
人们必须进入属于教堂的墓地。左边的砖墙上有一份声明,表明第一次已知的镰状细胞病记录,这是一种折磨西非人后裔的疾病。此外,这位女士还指出了墓地地位的重要性,较富裕的人拥有大理石墓碑。我们的导游分享的这起事件背后的故事非常有趣。
Leapers Hill 的纪念碑非常引人注目,背对着大海。那里的景色令人惊叹。那天天气非常炎热,卡里亚库岛、钻石岛、龙德岛和卡耶岛在地平线右侧清晰可见。
如果有机会,我建议参观这个地标!
