Traveling Around:\u00a0Bermuda<\/strong><\/p>\n

Can you relate?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Having an international school teacher friend that moved to a tropical location that you were FOR SURE\u00a0going to visit at some point.
\n\u2022 Realizing that Bermuda is indeed\u00a0so close to the United States and only around 1.5 hour flight from JFK airport in New York. \u00a0Why did I wait so long to visit this country!?
\n\u2022 Staying at a friend’s apartment and enjoying the view from their balcony while eating breakfast every morning.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Finally understanding exactly what Bermuda shorts are and when the locals wear them.
\n\u2022\u00a0Taking the local public transportation (with a mix of locals and tourists) to one of the many beautiful beaches in Bermuda.
\n\u2022 Filming a 30-second movie on my smartphone at each of the beaches that I visited and posting them on Facebook for all my friends to see!
\n\u2022 Visiting the school that my international school teacher friend works at and getting a\u00a0personal tour of campus.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Being a bit jealous of my friend’s less than five-minute walk to work.
\n\u2022 Going grocery shopping at a local grocery store and finding a paper bag (for bagging up your purchased products) that had a printed warning about the upcoming hurricane season on it.
\n\u2022 Checking out some the more popular caves in Bermuda and wondering whether I truly like visiting caves or not.
\n\u2022 Seeing animals that only a tropical island would have, but also finding animals that I thought an island wouldn’t have (e.g. cardinal birds).<\/p>\n

\"DSC_2436\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2022 Walking around a wooded area and finding a “secret spot” to swim, only to find that some other people were already swimming in this secret spot!
\n\u2022 Getting a nice ride on my friend’s moto to her most favorite beach on the island and finding it to be very worth the scariness of being on the back of a small motobike going at pretty fast speeds.
\n\u2022 Thinking I’m being all free and all by walking around the area around the beach in my bare feet only to find that I wish I would have worn my sandals because of the extremely rocky ground (sharp!).
\n\u2022 Taking lots of pictures of all the free-roaming roosters walking around everywhere on the island. Beautiful feathers!<\/p>\n

\"DSC_2301\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2022 Being in awe of the parrot fish. Finding it in one place and then finding it even up closer in another location the next day. So colorful!
\n\u2022\u00a0Eating some amazing local fish (wahoo anyone?) at a variety of\u00a0restaurants.
\n\u2022\u00a0Getting the opportunity to go on my friend’s work colleague’s house sailboat for the day. He took us around the beautiful island to a secret spot to go swimming in the open ocean. It was a really nice, warm and sunny day too!
\n\u2022 Avoiding going to the more popular, very touristy, beach in Bermuda. I ended up going there though on my last day and I am glad that I did. There weren’t too many people there and it was fun to walk around the beach to enjoy the awesome views.
\n\u2022 Not getting burnt at all from being out in the sun too much. Still got some color on my skin, but I was very wise to not over do it and make sure to put on enough sunscreen.
\n\u2022 Shopping at the local “expat\/imported” grocery store and being astounded by the VERY expensive prices there. I think a bag of cherries was 25 USD!!!<\/p>\n
