The Culps of the Caribbean

Last Day of Kyle's Spring Break Amy wanted to go back to Caribelle's Batik.  One the way there, a goat happens across the street. Village street that winds up to Caribelles. Amy and Kyle amongst the flora. Kyle and I also amongst the flora. Freshly dyed batik material hanging to dry. The wonderous scenes at North Friars Beach.  Just about 5 miles from home. The Breakfast of Champions. Not everything on St. Kitts is beautiful.  In fact there are a lot of things that are eye sores.  This however is a wonder.  It is an auto body shop that keeps their stock of used front ends and bumpers on the roof of their building.

With no plans on my calendar today I ventured out to explore the neighborhood. This cow is chained up for grazing so that it doesn't wander off. As you can see it can easily get into the road.  This is a heavily traveled main road around the island. The village of Lodge is located in a gaught (gut) which is a steep valley that handles run off water from the mountain to the ocean.  My apartment is at the top of this valley in the village of Molineaux about a 1/4 mile away. Just up the street is what appears to be an old abandoned church.  It's not.  It is just shuttered during the times it's not in use. In the distance on the north end of the island you can see the island of Eustacius. Closer up.  The island of Eustacius has a massive white cliff side.  From the air you can see a large number of fuel tanks and many oil tankers waiting to transfer fuel for this end of the Caribbean.
