The climate was tropical, but it did rain a lot while I was there. There is a huge seafood industry there, so I got to eat as much lobster as I could fit in my belly. You know I love my Seafood! I also met some really nice people who lived by the Water Fall of Magic. They showed me how to fish from the banks of the Water Fall pools. I also got to visit the Dessert of Solitude, but I wouldn’t recommend going there…. Nothing but sand. You should come visit someday! Love, Betsy
