For the second week in Barbados we traveled Bridgetown and other recommended areas. We arrived at Bridgetown via the bus which was very packed. We walked miles through the town and visited the harbor and various different monuments. The city was so colorful but it was pretty quiet when we got there. Eventually we arrived at a restaurant on the beach and I got a curry chicken salad. It was delicious and the crowd at the bar was so welcoming, a great day in the city! We walked through the town for a while looking for a bus and some locals guided us to the bus area. The next morning we ran a few miles around the town. The next few days were still busy with classes but we made sure to venture around. We also had a guest speaker who was a local and discussed the impact of climate change on his coastal engineering work. We watched the sunset almost every night and they were breathtaking over the water. Finally, we saw a family of monkeys multiple times over the week as they continued to visit us.
