He showed us all the sights and filled us in on the history of the island and pointed out various sights between our stops. He also kept us entertained along the ride. He got us black pineapple and mango from a roadside stand, had us try sugar cane at Betty’s Hope and served as driver, tour guide, photographer, quiz master and entertainer.
