Barbados: a definite Charleston connection
A sweet connection
can be felt once the name Charleston comes up. When you say South
Carolina or Charleston in the island of Barbados to any older person
a sweet familiar warmth is immediately felt. It’s the same warm
feeling that comes from the Gullah people. The love that is shown
with the Gullah culture is on full display on an entire Island. It’
the same feeling I get it when I join up with them in June for the
Sweet Grass Festival in Mt. Pleasant SC. You may call it laid back,
they just call it Island-Pace. A full week of on the island and I
have yet to hear an argument among anyone. And, believe me there
where many chances for them to “go-off” on some people I wanted
to go-off on for them. However, the pace stays exactly the way they
like it.
Once called the Post
Office of Charleston, there is plenty of history between the two
places. The architecture, the landscaping and the colors all have connection. Many of the plantations where designed on the island. Event the huge rocks off the coast seem to walk out as if they are trying to reach out to something. That something may well be Charleston.
Enjoy the view of the pictures and you may get an itch to
take a flight.
