Stories from the Caribbean

I recently returned from a trip to the Caribbean with my family. We spent two wonderful weeks in St. Vincent visiting with my parents, brother, and sister. St. Vincent is a beautiful island with sandy beaches leading to clear blue water, beautiful mountains, palm groves, and cool waterfalls. Every day was an adventure, whether we were snorkeling, hiking, walking the busy streets of Kingstown, or just driving around the island.
Driving on the narrow windy streets of St. Vincent is like riding a rollercoaster; up and down steep hills, around tight corners, abrupt stops. They drive on the left side of the road and their traffic laws are very different from here. But the drivers seemed a lot more patient than drivers here. They didn’t seem to be in a hurry and their honks were to let others know they were on the other side of a blind corner, not out of anger or impatience.

We met some really sweet people who welcomed us to their island and made us feel at home. They introduced us to many new things and delicious foods. I really enjoyed the fellowship with them.

So much happened while we were in St. Vincent that I cannot fit it all in one post so I will share more stories from the Caribbean in posts to come.
