Our Island Life

below deck at dusk

I wake up to the sound of a rooster right outside my window. The sun is bright and it makes it’s way through the blackout shades that hang in my bedroom. As I grind my coffee beans standing in my kitchen, I look out at the Caribbean Sea, watching the vivid turquoise waters slowly crash against Glover Island in the distance. It looks like another beautiful day from the color of the water (which changes daily depending on the weather). I get the baby up and ready. We’re both sweaty and sticky and the house is humid. I finish my coffee and we’re out the door. As I load the baby into our small 1991 Escudo, I say “hi” to our landlady who has already been up for hours. She’s sitting outside her shop, shucking fresh chicken which she will sell today. Her apron dirty with brown and deep red stains, and skin dark and glistening under the hot Grenada sun, she smiles and gives a wave, one hand occupied with her machete.
