While traveling in Bequia we took a tour of a plantation. This little dog lived at the plantation and followed us on the tour. We walked around a two acre plot of land and saw how easy it is to grow plants and trees to supply food for the restaurant. We sampled bananas, figs, coconut, papaya, sugar cane, guava, orange, grapefruit, mango, lime, lemon, papaya, dozens of herbs, and almonds. They also had chickens and goats to supply eggs, milk, and cheese. It's amazing how easily a family could have a healthy supply of great food. The fruit tastes so different than it does when it is shipped to the United States and chemically ripened.
The dog was happy to follow us and sample all the foods. Here, he is drinking the coconut milk from the fresh coconut. He had a beautiful, shiny coat, was perfect weight, and seemed very happy with his island life.
