This is a picture of Anguilla, which is located in the British West Indies. I have traveled here every summer for as long as i can remember. I enjoy spending my time here because it is a wonderful place to relax and unwind. The water is crystal clear and the sand is white with a georgous pink undertone. The ocean is teeming with underwater life, the coral is beautiful and there are so many different kinds of fish. Once in a while you may even run into a sea turtle or a stingray. Luckily there are little or no sharks here, and there have never been any shark attacks. With all the stress in my life this island is a great getaway. I am far away from my everday problems and can live the stress free island life. There are very few tourist and tourist attractions, this island is literally untouched, the beauty here is pure and simple.
The picture on the left is my house in Virginia. I moved to California in August to live with my dad. In Virginia i lived on a 26 acre vineyard, which also had a bed and breakfast. My step-dad grew harvested and made all the wine we produced with help from only a few other people (occasionaly i was one of them). I lived on the farm for all four years of high school. I lived at the foot of "Old Rag Mountain" a mountain people came to hike from all over the state of Virginia sometimes they even came from out of state. I loved the crips falls, the warm springs, but the summers were unbearably hot and humid. I was very sucluded since i lived on 26 acres in the middle of nowhere. There was nothing to do, the nearest gas station was twenty minutes away. Now that i live in California there is much more to do, and the drives are shorter. Sometimes i miss the peace and quiet of Virginia but i am happy in California..
Kaitlin, The picture of the beach is awesome. I have been to Hawaii many times but that does not compare to the British West Indies. I more than share your interest in such a place as I love the coral reefs. Living in the big city is ok but if I could live anywere it would be near a tropical beach so I could be in the crystal clear water everyday. The fact that you get to see this every year in person and enjoy its serinity, is a dream come true. The closest I get is my reef tank at home which is my little piece of the ocean. I hope you continue to enjoy your visits to the islands.
ReplyDeleteI like the picture of the beach. I went to Hawaii last year and it reminds me so much of it. the coral reefs there are aamazing. Though im sure it does not compare to the British West Indies, I can kind of relate to your experiences
