I'd Rather Learn to Knit

Of all my big talk about being ready to go home, feeling that I've gotten what I came here for, and that I had made my peace with Martinique, I'm not so sure anymore.
The countdown has begun, and I'll be (to quote a Canadian and be really cliché) "leaving on a jet plane" in less than a month.
The process I thought I was going to be skipping, the one I went through in both England and France…
Bananas Bananas Bananas

This weekend was completely BANANAS.
Literally.
We crossed off the Musée de Banane from our to-do list, and I'm honestly a little sad it's over. I mean, I had my reservations at the start. How great can a museum about bananas really be? It can be freakin' awesome, that's how great it can be.
We pumped it up quite a bit, I'll admit in what was a more mocking fashion,…

Yesterday, I finally climbed Mount Pelée. I had decided earlier that I wasn’t going to, because let’s face it – I don’t think I’ve been so out of shape in my life as I have been in Martinique. I would have thought the sun and the sand and the constant bikini-wearing would have helped, but no luck. I’ve definitely gained a few pounds.

Hi Joelle! I found your blog via the Travel Junkies group. I'm starting a series on my blog featuring expats around the world, and was wondering if you'd be interested in writing something on Schoelcher? I think it'd be pretty different, not too many people know much about Martinique! Anyway drop me a line if you're interested :)
