The Scenery

The treeline and above is simply gorgeous.  Palm and coconut trees dot the skyline.  The sky is bright and clear blue.  The white clouds pepper the sky.  There are mountains in the background.  It is a truly a Caribbean sight to behold.

Then your eyes drift to street level below and things take a turn from picturesque to grungy.  Trash all over the place.  Unpleasant living conditions.  Livestock running amok.  Hideous roads.  Dirt and pools of water littered with rocks and broken cinder blocks.

But I have to say, the people are beautiful.
