Part you gine? This is another Bajan expression which means 'Where are you going?'
Have you ever wondered what the youth of Barbados do for fun - on this small little rock of an island? Well, here is a glimpse - picture was taken on Sunday afternoon - they were playing on the beach and got up on these rocks posing in all these different shapes - with the ocean as the backdrop. Not a bad way to grow up - huh?
Ever wonder what the adults do for fun? Well, basically they do the same thing that you or I would do if we were living here. They cook up some food, invite some of their family and friends to meet them down at the beach. And they have a picnic! So jealous. This picture was taken Sunday afternoon as well. But, we see this ALL the time here - they usually wait until the sun is starting to go down around 4:00pm and then they bring out the food - and enjoy the afternoon until the sun sets around 6:30pm. The time of the sun setting does not change very much throughout the year. It gets dark really early here - but, then again - the sun comes up very early as well.
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
