Nevis

We journeyed over to St. Kitts' sister island of Nevis, and spent a couple days in the lee of Nevis Peak.  We circled the island (23 miles or so) on our folding bikes, including a couple insanely steep hills which required us to dismount and push our bikes...but it made for a good downhill ride on the other side.  Nevis was pretty neat to see, we saw the botanical gardens, lots of goats, and had a cheap roti/jerk pork lunch at an old plantation with a great view of the neighboring islands.  

Nevis is also the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton, an American founding father and generally all-around good guy (though he perished in a duel).  He is also credited with founding the Coast Guard, hence our interest in the museum.  Yes (Heather) we can hear you snicker from here.

Right now we are at Montserrat, and will write more after we finish exploring this island with it's active volcano...
