It’s some crazy hour and all I want to do is shower, inspect my mosquito net for invaders — and destroy them! — and crawl in to sleep. I had a great day learning all about the history of Barbados in Bridgetown (I read EVERYTHING at the Museum of Parliament and I had a guide all to myself across the courtyard at parliament, so I drilled him), then caught a bus to Bathsheba on the east coast and spent the rest of the day there with the surfers at Soup Bowl. I tried to go to Bathsheba yesterday, but that’s a story for another day… every day has many stories!
Yesterday and today ended by sitting on some video editing classes taught by my host, who’s a filmmaker and teacher of film studies, and after class we would go out for fish and beer around Bridgetown. When people ask me what I’m doing while in Barbados, I never know how to answer because I do a little bit of everything: I try new food every day, speak to locals every day, catch the sunset in different places around the island, take advantage of cheap bus fares (B$1.50 to anywhere!) and explore random places, nose around the grocery stores, walk, walk, walk, and learn, learn, learn.
My trusty little El Cheapo Canon A520 is still alive after taking a beating in Barbados — downpours, sand, salty sea air — and here’s what came straight out of it today, without post-processing:
