Just a couple of weeks after I returned to St. Vincent in early 2003, my cousin Tara came for a visit. It was really great having her, not only to spend time with her, but because she was so eager and interested to tour the island, and I loved showing her around. We visited Dark View and Trinity Falls, climbed the volcano, visited the Owia Salt Ponds, spent time at the Beachfront Bar in Chateaubelair and took a trip to the Grenadines where we took the Captain Yannis day charter to Mayreau and the Tobago Cays. Special thanks to Tara for giving me her digital photos from this trip which are used on this web page. |
