We are now in one of my favorite places in the Caribbean, Bequia. I first came here on Argo in 2010 and immediately fell in love with it. It is tiny, roughly seven square miles with a population of about 4000. It is part of an old whaling community that is still apparent through the whalebone necklaces, knives, and other assorted jewelry scattered among the few shops that line the main street.
It is always nice to come back to places. To see the familiar streets (or street, singular, in Bequia’s case), restaurants, and fruit stands. Last night we went to a bar called Beige, named after its owner. It is small and local but before long Beige was dancing right alongside the “gringos” and everyone having a good time.
Today I am looking forward to having pizza from the shack (the best in the whole world!), adventuring over to the other side of the island to visit the turtle rescue center, and checking out my favorite fruit stands. It’s good to be back!
