Honeymoon

I just returned from an incredible journey to the West Indies. Amelia and I stayed with her aunt,she has lived there for about fifteen years and it seems to serve her well,she seems comfortable with her surroundings .
We stayed with a local in the off season, we were excepted and felt welcomed by her friends.That meant alot to us.
Whenever I have traveled I try to live or experience life like the locals. No Sandels resort for us.We had a rental car and each night we were pointed in a direction that promised good views,food and adventure.Even with out her Aunts advice it's hard to make waste of a day on that Island.
Being interested in 17 & 18th century furniture/building techniques, kept me interested and looking all the time, the Dock Yard is incredible, it's a walk back in time to pirates and explores. Of course that also brings on a gut wrenching awareness of how horribly people were treated. Man kind is capable of so many incredible tasks, I cant understand why they so often are negative and oppressive.
The Caribbean is so beautiful, we snorkeled a lot ,the only time I did that before was in the stream or on the Outer Banks where I only saw stream bottom or crabs, which is cool too.
I saw a lot of fish but I think the reefs were dead so it wasn't like I though it would be, still, awesome.
