Another beautiful day.A beautiful wet rainy day in Barbados.As I said before I am one of those fellows who loves rainy days.This morning me and my daughter had a long lovely walk in the rain.It seemed as if we were the only two people in Barbados on this day.People disappear in Barbados when the rain is falling,people don't go to work,school children stay at home.Bajans have this thing about the rain.I can never figure it out.

Along the way I passed a garbage truck,you know the trucks that are used for collecting refuse;anyway it was parked at the side of the road while the workers sheltered from the rain.I passed an army of school children sheltering from the rain ..........

In Barbados the worst thing that can happen to you is to get wet by the rain....it will give you bronchitis,pneumonia you name it......unless you are like me.

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
