Welcome

Hi, my name is Victoria Grace Avara (Vickie for short) and welcome to my blog. This blog was written while I was stationed in Barbados for 4 years from 2008-2012. I would just write things down whenever I had the time. I would write about my experiences with living in a new country and a different culture. Please forgive my grammatical errors, but enjoy these posts that I wrote during this time. My husband and I dearly love the Island of Barbados and we hope to someday retire to this little island that we called home for 4 short and wonderful years of our life. I hope that you enjoy reading this blog.

Sincerely, Vickie Avara

The Sun and the Moon

Have you ever been able to witness the sun setting and the moon setting - both in the time span of 3 hours?  We did - yesterday.  Gary, Alisha and myself were playing gin rummy out on the veranda - and we watched the beautiful sky turn different shades of pink and blue as the sun was setting over the ocean's horizon.  Then, to our amazement - we watched for the first time ever - the moon setting over the ocean's horizon.  It was fantastic - because as the moon was just touching the water's edge - it turned the colour of red.  You can not walk away from this sight - or you will miss it.  Once the sun and moon get to the water's edge - they travel very quickly on over to the other side!
