What is this strange, this splendor...all this mystry that makes me surrender....

One of my favorite things about the islands is the steel drums. You can almost always find a band playing as soon as you disembark. This was taken in Antigua.

All the little shops near where the ships come in.....

This was a personal yacht....mind boggling!

Not a lot of industry here, they mostly depend on tourism. The island is actually a coral reef has a population of 80,000 and the temperature stays approximately 86 degrees year round.

This is a pineapple field we passed on our tour.

We met up with this woman on the outskirts of town.....she was quite upset when I took her picture and didn't buy any of her jewelry. I gave her $1 to pacify her. She probably makes more money this way than on the jewelry!!

I sure wasn't singing "Daddy looks a lot like Santa".....This Santa must have been on a diet!

This was the downtown section....very poor.
