Pirates and Jumby on St Vincent Island


I am loving being in my sweet room at the Grenadine House after a tough day hiking the rain forest to the Trinity Falls. Hiking up and down steep trails was killer but so good to do. On the way we stopped at several fishing villages, it was like the Caribbean used to be years ago, not tarted up but real. The people friendly and life lived, no wonder why Depp's pirate films were made here. Tonight is Jumby Away night and I can see the fires and laterns in the grave yard across the hill. The people go to talk about the dead relatives and party, much like day of the dead in Mexico.
