Windward Islands - the Deep Southeastern Paradise

........... De fac's Mon, just de fac's ..........
Now the vacation tourist stuff -
The Caribbean is about islands. From the very first human exposure, the sea and sailing defined the true inherent character of the Caribbean. The Leewards, the Windwards, the currents, winds, palms, sea grape, causurina trees and the unrelenting sun of the tropics, all combine to provide that paradise we northerners dream to inhabit. Take it from here and enjoy your journey.

    27. Talamanca Discovery: Culture
    in the mid1800¹s. In general they came tree crops native to Africa and importantto their culture. and cultural ties were linked to the caribbean islands.
    http://greencoast.com/culture.htm
    HISTORICAL / CULTURAL INTRODUCTION By 1979 a road connected the villages to Limon. Electricity brought lights and refrigeration to Puerto Viejo in 1986 and to Manzanillo in 1988. Now, you can drive to Puerto Viejo in a little over 3 hours - 4 to 4.5 hours by bus - to enjoy its cultures, wildlife, forests and the Caribbean sea. Private phones were installed in October of 1996 and this has been our route to cyberspace. The earliest peoples of Talamanca of whom we are aware were the Bribri and Cabecar Indians who lived in the interior, mostly along watercourses. Later, Afro-Caribbean people settled along the coast, founding the villages of Old Harbour (Puerto Viejo), Grape Point, Manchineel (Manzanillo), and Monkey Point. English was the principal language in those days, and despite a campaign to convert everything to Spanish, to the point of changing town names, English is still widely used. Coastal Talamanca is the most bi-lingual region of Costa Rica. For generations the Blacks and Indians lived in harmony, trading with each other, living successfully off the land. These people have accumulated an incredible amount of knowledge of the forest and sea. Many indigenous people continue to live in thatch roofed houses built entirely of forest products.
    Later, Afro-Carribeans introduced cash crops such as cacao, began extracting lumber, often hiring Indians to work in these enterprises. Perhaps 30 years ago Spanish speaking laborers arrived from the central valley of Costa Rica. Latin Costa Rican influence has grown increasingly, an influx of North Americans and Europeans has added to the cultural mix. Many find this atmosphere fascinating and stimulating.

    Cuba General Information
    Cuba is the largest of all the Caribbean Islands but politics and language have succeeded in keeping it less spoiled by tourism than that of some of its neighbours. Cuba attracts many people from all walks of life who want to experience the Cuban culture, music, rum and cigars or simply relax on the wonderful Caribbean beaches. Havana is one of the oldest established cities that was originally founded by the Spanish. Even today the old town of Havana retains much of its colonial heritage from churches, museums and castles, resulting in it being declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. There are many other colonial cities worth visiting such as Santiago de Cuba, Trinidad, Camaguey, and Sancti Spiritus Many have unspoiled colonial areas, museums and monuments. Pinar del Rio is a large province in the East of the island made famous by its high quality tobacco. It is also home to the spectacular Vinales Valley - an area of conical limestone hills, caves and underground rivers. A wonderful area for birdwatching and walks.

    Culture
    Bahamian culture is like no other. It has embraced a panorama of native customs of the indigenous "Indian" people who populated The Islands Of The Bahamas over the eons. Then Bahamian culture suddenly underwent an abrupt change beginning in 1648 when English Puritans settled on the island of Eleuthera. It has further evolved over the past four centuries, witnessing the arrival of Bermudan slaves and free blacks, British Loyalists (accompanied by slaves) fleeing America after the War of Independence, freed Africans from slave ships, Black Seminoles from Florida, people from other Caribbean islands, as well as Chinese, Syrian and Greek immigrants.

    Baseball, National Passion
    Baseball was first introduced to the Caribbean in 1866 on the island of Cuba. Taught to the Cubans by American sailors who were there to load sugar.
    Eight years later in 1874 the first organized game of baseball was played between Cuban teams. In the years to come it would be Cuba who would spread baseball throughout the Caribbean. When the ten year war (1868-1878) in Cuba brought turmoil to the country, many Cubans fled their country and migrated to the D.R. bringing with them the game called "Baseball" or "Beisbol."
    Dominicans were quick to learn the game and soon organized teams and tournaments were being held.
