    It was a georgeous place … It shown like a jewel in the ocen when were were there…these fires around the world are so sad. I guess Climate Change Deniers are going to findva new theory to deny now… And the bible thumpers can claim End of days this time by Fire.. Weve had Flood and Ice, Disease and now its Fires turn..
