166 square miles is a very small size for an island.A very small island.Living on Barbados you never ever get the feeling that it is that small.They are many people who have never left the island and who never have any intention of leaving.I certainly don't claim to have that strong an affinity for Barbados.It is just an island that I just happened to have been born on,yet i have never travelled to any other place so far that I like more than Barbados.

Such is life on Barbados.

One of the funniest stories is the one of the bearded fig tree and the name Los Barbados which was supposed to mean 'the bearded one'. 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
