In just the couple of days I’ve been in Martinique, I have seen so many beautiful sites. Even when I’m not out with my group, there is beauty within the houses. I didn’t think I would be able to deal with such a rapid pace change. I went from waking up in my own bed in Delaware, to waking up in Schoelcher and having to speak French to get through the day.
One of the most amazing and beautiful parts of Martinique is the history. We have already seen quite a few historical sites and have more to see. I personally enjoyed seeing the Maison de Josephine and then, her statue which was decapitated and covered in a Pan-African flag.
