St Vincent, an island of approximately 110000 people in the Caribbean. I was asked to go to conduct a meeting/training session for a rural community group in a place called Chatubelauir. There are no hotels in the village and so I was booked at a guesthouse called Beach house Bar, this ought to be interesting!I arrive and met the driver, Mr Greaves at the airport and I asked him about dinner, he said ahhh there is nowhere on the island open now except KFC!Really?YesOk, so what’s the alternative as I am a vegetarian?Chips or fries?I laugh, we drive around the capital for about 2omins and just as he said the only sign of life I saw were some young guys playing football in a car park! As we were about to exit Kingstown a Subway was open, I stop in and grab a salad!The drive to the village was just over an hour, mostly uphill with lovely views of the ocean. As the sun was going down over the water I thought about the beauty of nature and how having the opportunity to see this in so many different countries is such a blessing!We pass through a number of villages and bounced up to 2 funerals, I ask Mr Greaves if this is where all the people are at! He said its a big occasion! Get to the village, its pouring with rain and its a small house with the basics! I get out and ask for Internet, no chance at this point, sorry! I think about how much time I spend on the Internet! So tonight its just me and the crickets and my thoughts to keep me company!
Awesomeness!Peace!
