Always a great welcome at the airport with the steel drum bands. Did a tour of a rum factory there too. Even the air in the factory was thick with sugar cane being processed. We get a lot of use out of the phrase "why is the rum always gone!"<br /><br />So sad about Gord Downie, it seems such a shame to lose someone who was doing such good. That's a wonderful chalk drawing. I think he would approve.<br />WendySeptember Violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931133319044031928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-61338060402609603932017-10-24T20:05:59.291-04:002017-10-24T20:05:59.291-04:00Interesting exhibit....and amazing chalk portrait....Interesting exhibit....and amazing chalk portrait.Janey and Co.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14263426600052174272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-81080469672849542372017-10-24T19:47:16.511-04:002017-10-24T19:47:16.511-04:00I've never been to Barbados but I consumed a l...I've never been to Barbados but I consumed a lot of rum in my (much) younger days.Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-65191685842516295352017-10-24T19:45:31.042-04:002017-10-24T19:45:31.042-04:00Tweeted.
