INDIGO Newly open on weekend evenings at the Montpelier Plantation Inn is Indigo, tel: (1-869) 469 3462.

This means that every second Thursday of the month, my host parents transport their plastic waste to the collection site near city hall – except, of course, on the second Thursday of an even-numbered month, during which plastic bottles, and not common plastics, are collected. Before they do this, however...
...order "Obama Maki," a feast of shrimp tempura, cucumber, lobster, and spicy mayo. There must be no situation more ideal than dousing some Obama Maki in wasabi-tinged soy sauce, stuffing it into your mouth, and feeling patriotic all at the same time. We are quite pleased by the idea...
