Culebra Living
September 5th, 2007
Living on Culebra appears as though it will be quite different than living in the British Virgin Islands. Aside from the most obvious difference, they speak spanish in Culebra and English in Tortola, our new island home is quite a bit smaller with an estimated population of 3,000 (BVI population ~ 25,000). Also, for the four and a half years we were in Tortola I worked for the BVI government but here, as owners of the Palmetto Guesthouse, we are our own bosses and have been working everyday for the past 30 days.

More to come if we can get a better internet connection.

Good luck in Culebra. I lived in/on St. Thomas for a couple of years. I loved it, however, I would have liked St. John better I think. Tortola is very nice, I enjoyed visiting there (I wrote a post about one visit, if you want to check it out. Rock Fever.) I would highly recommend St. John, if Culebra doesn’t work out.
Take care and God Bless.
