I kept asking our friend (a very good friend) about schools, and he did say there were some, but nobody in the resorts seemed to know anything about the real island life. I think this goes to show how eager so many people are--I'm just one of many--to really _be_ in a place, even if it's a vacation spot. Wherever we go, we want to meet real people and see real lives. No matter how many gated communities are built, I still think the majority of people want contact with the actual place they're visiting. I'll take you up on the offer if we get back there next year :-) What I saw of the island was absolutely gorgeous. Now, Simon, you’ve absolutely restored my faith in humanity!
