Week 1: July 1-5: Barbados

It has been a great first week in Barbados. Along with research for case studies, meeting the staff members of the Caribbean Tourism Organization, interacting with local Barbadians, navigating the non-gridded streets, enjoying the cuisine, snorkeling, and taking pictures have all been the highlights of this week. Barbados offers so much in terms of beauty, friendliness, professionalism, and natural wonder. I’m looking forward to the coming weeks, for the research and work, and for the possibilities of unknowns becoming reality. Lastly, having a fellow PCGS’r here as an internship partner, Chris Cramer, has contributed to the already great experience and will undoubtedly provide for great times in the future. He took this picture of me while we were both free diving at one of the many shipwrecks Barbadian waters offer.
