To me, nothing says resilient like the remnants of old buildings.  I was struck by this time and again when we were on St. John this last spring.  The shells of old sugar plantations litter the countryside, easily discovered by those willing to go a little off the beaten path. To tread down forgotten trails to witness the once vibrant but sobering history of this little island.  Resilient…a nod to both buildings and the humans who once toiled there.
