Billy Joel live at Wrigley. |
We got to walk around Miami Beach and check it out. The portion we explored was somewhat underwhelming as the water felt lukewarm and there was seaweed everywhere. It was also a million percent humidity, which didn't help matters. But we eventually found a Cuban restaurant to eat at, so that was nice.
When we arrived in Barbados, Mike's uncle, Reggie, and one of his family members met us at the airport. We made our way to our hotel, where Mike's aunt, Linda, was waiting for us. There were hugs for all and you could immediately tell how excited they were (and still are!) to have us here.
Our first view of the island. |
On our first night here, we went out to watch some people sing karaoke with Reggie and Linda at a place called La Bouche in Speightstown. We had to take a bus, which was an experience. There are some government owned buses and there are some private ones. We hoped on a private one that was going a million miles an hour and blaring music. It was awesome. The government ones didn't have music blaring, but they still drove like bats out of hell. Typically, that sort of thing terrifys me but I loved it here.
I keep joking with Linda that we need to allow extra time when going places with Reggie because he knows so many people here and stops to say hi to them all. I feel like I am getting to know a lot of people here already. And who knows what he still has in store for us. He has been a wonderful host so far and I am sure that he will continue to be.
