Here are some photos taken while I walked around.

Lifestyle

Here are some photos of the "official outfit" of Bermuda and a restaurant that I ate at one day.

Bermuda Shorts

The official outfit. Yes, you are supposed to wear the long dark socks and long sleeve shirt, white or blue.

A Rum Swizzle

A rum cocktail made of Demerera Rum (amber rum) and Jamaican Rum (dark rum) along with an assortment of citrus juices.
Sometimes brandy is added to the mixture as well.

Roof construction

In this photo you can see the construction of the rafters and the roof.
The Bermuda Roof has always been built over an open-batten structure (see photo) and material used has always been limestone cut into 18"x12"x1" slate. The slate is bedded in mortar and each row of slate overlaps the previous row by half (9"), therefore all the way up the roof there is approximately 3" of roof material.
