LEADING THE BARBADOS PRIEST RETREAT - Part Three


INTERESTING SIGHTS THIS WEEK IN BARBADOS


The Barbados Flag

A reminder in the hotel lobby that Barbados will celebrate fifty years of independence at the end of this month.


Hotel artwork of a sugar cane harvester - a traditional crop on the island from which rum is made.



A shower drives sunbathers to run for cover!



A colorful house across the street from our hotel.



It could be Florida.



The sun sets on another day.



THE BIRDS! THE BIRDS! THE BIRDS!

The open air restaurant is typically filled with birds flying through, roosting on the backs of chairs and eating on the left-overs.



You can barely see it, but there is a bird drinking from the cream pitcher.



This colorful pigeon is walking right toward me. No fear!



This bird is scoping out the room for possible left-overs.



Other than the birds, breakfast this morning was all that it was cracked up to be!


"LIMING" - A CARIBBEAN TRADITION

To "lime" is to sit around and "chill," "chew the fat," "goof off" or "just pass the time." It is a tradition in this presbyterate to "lime" on the last night of the retreat, so we "limed" before going to bed. We sat around the room and told jokes and old stories, while having a few drinks.
