I'm all for new places and adventures. But it's hard to beat the familiar pleasure of arriving in south Eleuthera for a mid-winter break. It was 28 degrees when we left Long Island (JFK) last week and anything but when we got here just over four hours later.
This is a peaceful, orderly place. One of the Bahamian “family islands” Eleuthera discourages flash and gambling which has been mostly limited to New Providence and Grand Bahamas. This makes life here peaceful, to be sure, but jobs aren't plentiful unless you teach or work for the local government and in the utilities offices. This is what my visitor's eye sees; there's more to understand. The kindness of the people we have met here is lovely and welcome.
