What a gorgeous island! It is one of the first settlements in the Abacos (northern Bahamas)...The views throughout the island are incredible. The homes are pastel colors. There are lots of really green plants, trees, palm trees, hibiscus and orchids. Each time you can get a glimmer of the Atlantic side, you see a green/blue water that is hard to describ. You take your sunglasses off and the colors are still amazing. We ventured into New Plymouth to see the town. There are about 500 full time residents. The town is a mix of yelow, pink and lite blue buildings. They have wrapped the telephone poles with Xmas decorations. This year is the first time they have been able to do that. They pulled together a committee to raise the funds. We had a goombay smash at Miss Emily's....It is always a stop on the walk thru New Plymouth. Miss Emily's daughter now runs the place. She is known for her version of the goombay smash...needless to say it only takes about two to feel the effects. The sunsets here ahve been beautiful....see pics of the island.
