It's pretty heavenly. Although of course there's a heavy dose of class issues to go with it. This particular Bahamas island (Abaco) was settled mostly by Tory loyalists after the Revolutionary War; there's an island (Green Turtle Cay) with a little fishing village on it that could almost be plopped down next to New Bedford and you'd never know it wasn't a New England village. Then again the Bahamas freed their slaves before the US did. Then again, half the cheap labor on the island is immigrant workers from Haiti. Then again, tourism is all that's keeping the place alive...

There will be a lengthy post on this later. Actually a few of them. I'd forgotten a lot about the place; both how much I love it and how complex it is.
