Rain and more rain

I like it when it rains,just like it was raining yesterday.We don't get enough rain in Barbados,that is my opinion.Everyone says I would love England because of the wet gloomy conditions.

People were surprised by the rain but not me...I was expecting it.As a matter of fact we may have to keep our eyes on Ernesto although at this time of the year weather activity is not as hectic as last year. 

Today the clouds are moving away and it is getting back to the bright and sunny conditions. Maybe I will take a bus ride to the east coast.I have been doing a lot of that lately....taking bus rides since my formerly reliable transport is off the road.

I don't mind traveling by zr or minibus though...it is a refreshing change although I try to keep away from the speeding ones.

In the words of Gary Cole from the book reflections; The Colonization of Barbados is one of the darkest events and evil stories of modern history.Four centuries ago,Spanish and Portuguese slavers started to kidnap,kill and drive out the thousands of peaceful Indians found on the island the Indians called Ichirouganaim.The exact location of the island was a carefully kept secret but Spanish and Portuguese soldiers and sailors knew the island as the barbarous island,"Los B
