The Caribbean Sea is located in North America, and it can be reached in about five hours by air from new york. Looking down from the plane, the blue and green sea water surrounds the island, which is also true and false, just like in a dream. When the plane was about to land, there was cheers on the plane!

Antigua and Barbuda, an island country in the Caribbean, was once a British colony and became independent in 1981. It was discovered by Columbus on his second voyage. He named the island after a church. It can be called the back garden of North Americans, and was once the first choice for Princess Diana's holiday. The island has a tropical maritime climate, with an average annual temperature of 26-28 degrees, a pleasant climate and a developed tourism industry. Tourism is the leading industry in this country, and there are large and small resort hotels along the coast.

the race of the Caribbean-black people.

matriarchal social phenomenon in the Caribbean-children only know their mother, but not their father. The woman in the picture has no husband, not because her husband died or divorced, but because she doesn't know where she went. It is very hard for them to take up the responsibility of raising children. In recent years, the government has issued relevant laws, which make a woman pregnant and not bear the responsibility of raising a child, and she is sentenced to ten years in prison. Monogamy is also practiced here. I think this is just the result of their budding youth.

This is a social phenomenon, which has not been thoroughly studied. If I were a sociologist, I would do this research; If I am a feminist researcher, this is also a good topic!

(1) antigua island

? The beautiful beaches of Antigua and Barbuda, a Caribbean island country, have 365 beaches. The sea water is pure, showing different colors and distinct layers, giving people visual enjoyment!

Feel the sea-the sea in the morning is cold but not ice.

? A good mood begins with breakfast!

The children were playing on the beach when they suddenly said, "Mom, look at that white cloud under the sea, as beautiful as a picture! "Looking up, white clouds are swimming in the sky; At the junction of the sky and the sea, a touch of blue separates the sky and the sea like a ribbon, and the sea water gradually turns light green from far and near. My lens and words are not enough to describe its beauty!

clear sea water.

you can't live up to the beauty and food!

A unique etiquette in Antigua-when men meet each other, they clench their fists and bump into each other, indicating that they are very buddies, very manly, heroic and brotherly! The children are not used to it and don't cooperate very well.

? The man in the picture is the CEO of our hotel, a shy and gentle South African. I blush when I talk to people occasionally, and often do it myself, carrying dishes, setting the table, mopping the floor, helping guests with their luggage, etc. I am a very inspirational big boy. In addition, he also has a unique skill of teasing children, and he can play wonderful music with his fingers on his mouth.

"Hold your hand and grow old with your son." European and American version! Watching all kinds of people pass by every day, only this white-haired hand-in-hand love touches the heart, too old to walk, pushing a wheelchair to accompany you to see the sea.

In English Harbour, go on road trip, all the berths in the harbor are private yachts. What a long experience! English Harbour has a strong colonial color, and there are villas built during the British occupation more than 3 years ago. At that time, the colonial cannon was still standing in front of the museum for visitors to visit.

The children met the French grandmother on the beach. In her seventies, she still wears a bikini and has a pink girl's heart. I am so devoted to playing with my children that I am ashamed of myself as a mother!

when we learned that children can't swim, we specially found our room and sent a swimming ring. I have to admire her French elegance and enthusiasm from the bottom of my heart!

"I'm Chinese，Chinese is the best！ We are one family！ "Every time I meet this uncle, he will say this sentence with great pride. His name is Edwin Ayoung, a mixed-race Venezuelan, whose father is from Shanghai and his mother is from Venezuela. He is the king of songs in the Caribbean. At the age of 73, he is still touring everywhere, claiming that he can be found online. The hotel staff seemed very enthusiastic about him. Claiming to be from China, he can't speak Chinese, so we will all respond: "We are one family! "

" Life is short and hard. Learn to enjoy it! "An old lady from Ohio, USA, who came here on holiday with her husband suffering from laryngeal cancer, said. She is bright and open-minded, and her strong and optimistic attitude towards life deeply touched me.

go shopping in antigua island. This time, I mainly bought chopsticks for children, and I lost the chopsticks I brought. The troubled child insisted on not eating with a knife and fork, but had to buy it. This large supermarket is extremely rich in goods. I have searched the whole supermarket and there are no chopsticks. The feeling be nasty under, had to buy a bamboo stick, coax him that the Caribbean chopsticks are not the same as those in China, how so special!

sunset in the Caribbean! The beauty in life is fleeting. I just want to freeze it with a lens, stay in the long river of years and record the days that have passed.

(2) barbuda island

s adventure trip to barbuda island. This island has the only pink beach in the world. From a distance, it looks pink and beautiful. It is said that Schwarzenegger's 7 wedding was held on this romantic pink beach! According to the guide, the pink you see is actually a pink shell, a beach paved with pink shells. In October and November, the pink beach is the most beautiful season.

The multicolored seawater around barbuda island is presented like a beautiful picture scroll. Just separated by a sand dune, it seems like two worlds, and the colors of the sea water will be so different, marveling at the magic of nature!

Caribbean "pirates"!

Take the "pirate ship" to Bird Island, which looks mysterious and charming in the drizzle, and birds fly up from time to time. Our arrival didn't disturb their resting place, and they looked at a group of us calmly, as long as they reached out and grabbed them.

(3) Montserrat

Depart-Montserrat! After the guidance of the airport staff, we were drunk when we confirmed the plane we were going to take! Seeing such a small plane for the first time in my life, plus the pilot, there are always seven people. Does the special plane feel anything? Finally, I suddenly realized why I had to weigh myself before boarding the plane! This is also the first time in my life!

? After the plane started, the loud engine sound, in my son's words, was like the sound of a lawn mower! My heart is in my throat. The plane flies and rises, and I firmly grasp the back of the front seat. At this moment, unprecedented fear attacks me, looking at the rolling sea below, thinking, should it not fall into the Caribbean? The son still asked excitedly, "Mom, why didn't you take back the wheels of the plane?"? ""Stop talking, I don't know! "Mom, I have to perfunctory, who will save my little heart!

Fortunately, with this handsome and skilled pilot, the plane flew smoothly. My son asked for a chocolate cake, okay, fine! After a moment of shock, my mood slowly recovered to calm down. I looked at the island that I was about to arrive in front of me and told my son that when I arrived, my son looked puzzled, how could it be so fast! Yes, it's a twenty-minute flight. The moment the plane landed, my heart burst down!

This airport is very pocket-sized. The waiting room is the smallest I have ever seen. The waiting room is about the same size as the living room. There are only two windows at the customs office. As soon as you get out of the customs gate, the road is outside. Is this the "lilliputian country"?

Enjoy the panoramic green of Montserrat with high vegetation coverage. When the car was driving in the wild mango forest and saw red, yellow and green mangoes falling from the trees, I really wanted to say to the driver, stop, let me pick up a mango! I haven't the nerve to speak, a little regret!

The island is a longevity island, and the average life expectancy of people is about 1 years old.

The latest eruption of the active volcano in Montserrat was in 21, and the strongest eruption was in 1997.

The car is walking on the road paved with volcanic ash. There is an active volcano with thick smoke in the distance. Looking at the houses destroyed by volcanic eruption on both sides, there is a cold air whizzing up behind it! I instantly feel helpless and insignificant in the face of natural disasters! The remaining buildings here tell the prosperity of the past and vent the desolation of today! There are warning signs everywhere here, and visiting here must be approved by the local government. This is no man's land. There used to be an island with 12, people, but now there are only 5, people.

? Plants derived from volcanic ash after volcanic eruption will leave traces of volcanic ash when they are patted by hand. Strange!

the seawater of Montserrat. Thick blue, pure and beautiful.

The folk customs here are simple, and people live a simple and happy life. The aunt who sells sun hats and beach clothes on the beach plays with children in her spare time. When we said we were going back to China, we rushed to dig out a T-shirt and gave it to our children. We said it was a gift from Antigua's mother.

I didn't see that this old man selling coconuts on the beach turned out to be an artist! On the occasion of parting, give the children a painting of their own, accompanied by a poem!

goodbye, seagull!

Children come to say goodbye to you.

I really want to take you back to China.

I wonder if anyone will feed you after he returns to China?

I wonder if you will cry when he leaves.

I also wonder if you will miss him?

...

Imagine that you will follow the car to send him to the airport!

the deep feeling of parting!

goodbye, beautiful Caribbean!
