I felt right at home. Felt like being around distant family. I also enjoyed learning about the Garifuna people and participating in their culture. IMO, it was definitely worth the trip down that long dirt road. Make sure to borrow or rent a bike to head into the village from the island, and bring a headlamp if you want to hang out after dark so you can see on the way back. I got familiar with the road during the day, so it IS possible to do it without a light @ night (I wouldn't recommend that for anyone else though, unless you're a crazy ass explorer with no fear and excellent night vison who just happens to forget their headlamp, like I did; I thought it was fun, but that may not be the vibe for someone else) I really enjoyed my stay! I'll be back... LoveLoveLoveOneLove! ~sqb
