He lived with his grandmother behind a little shop they ran and we got accustomed to seeing him every day. He was the same age as one of my little boys and spoke in a thick Caribbean accent. Too cute for words. These guys are friends of a local restaurant owner and gave us tons of advice about places to explore on the island. One of my favorite parts about the eclectic island is the gorgeous architecture. It has old-world charm, but with Caribbean flair. There are churches with painted shutters everywhere. My favorite was this one- everything was bright sea-blue, my favorite color. If I could get away with painting my house shutters this color, I would! We spent a few days on St. Maarten as well, which has a completely different vibe than Anguilla. (Photo Location: Grand Case, St. Maarten) Although gorgeous, it’s also a cruise port and therefore constantly filled with tourists. However because of that, they do have tons of great restaurants and fun things to do. Gorgeous sights everywhere And the ocean is everywhere you turn. But if I could choose, I’d stay on Anguilla for weeks. It’s literally like having your own desert island. But with gourmet food whenever you get hungry.
