No matter where I am in the world (right now it happens to be Barbados) it always comes down to the simple things. The things that make life beautiful to me. Like homemade Bajan hot (insane hot) sauce, sitting on the floor with Axel eating blackened bluefish caught just this morning wrapped in chinese cabbage that was picked, you guessed it, just this morning. Tiny little limes that burst with juice. Bouquets of the local herb mix of thyme, marjoram, chives and hot peppers. All bought from little old ladies selling their food goodies on the street.
It's very hot here. So hot, that it took all my effort to write said paragraph. This being the case dear reader, if you will indulge me, I am going to tell the rest of my story in pictures.
Little things that have captured my heart here so far...

| The local reggae blasting Dolmus ... |

| Beehive glasses ... |

 |
| This one speaks for itself n'est ce pas ... |
|
 |
| Obama nike's on Rasta's ... |
 |
| Pac pac pac ... |
|
 |
| The local Bluefish ... thank you sea ... |
 |
| People and fish ... and signs ... |
 |
| Long roads ... |
Next week dear readers, if all goes as planned, I hope to come to you with recipes and stories of barbecued pigs tales, macaroni pie, flying fish and a possible petition to keep the hamburger across the street thick. Wish me luck.
