I first began visiting the Caribbean when I was twelve
and have resided in South Florida off and on, for the last 38 years. I love the Caribbean cultures, cuisine, music, and natural beauty of the islands and the waters.

6 Banana or Plantain
7 Passion fruit flower
8 Not sure
9 Kareila, or Bitter Gourd
