Being with my parents for that mid-holiday spell was important because I felt home with my family.... But the Bahamas....now that is a different world! I felt like a typical white tourist. I felt very on the outs in a community who all seem to know each other, I was the outsider. I envied their apparent closeness and loudness!!!
I didn't envy how dirty most towns were and how unsafe I often felt. But it was a really cool experience, one I am glad that my kids got to experience too.
Amazing trip and very happy to go home.
