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

Annette




I have made a new friend here on the island, her name is Annette.  She was born in Guyana, but grew up in England.  She met her husband - Devron - in England.  Devron has now retired and moved back to his homeland of Barbados.  So, therefore, Annette is now living in Barbados as well.  I met Annette while visiting with Sharon Bharti.  Sharon is an expat from Canada who is living here in Barbados for the next five years.  Sharon is here with her mate - Tom - who works for the Royal Bank of Canada.  I met Sharon while taking a golf lesson. Hopefully, that is clearer than mud.  Anyway, the point is - that here we are - three friends from different parts of the world and different backgrounds - but, we have formed this friendship that is good.  We meet at each other's homes usually once a week and just sit and talk.  Might sound boring to some, but it is quite fun, actually.

Annette offered to take me around the island today to show me places good for buying food.  We went to Cheapside, Dora's, fish market, and Hotel Supply.
