Barbados Intr


Old Sugar Plantation

Barbados






Barbados


Barbados is an island located in the Caribbean, known for its sugar.  Barbados was created 70 million years ago.  It was colonized by Britain, resulting in the majority of the population being Anglican.  Also, unlike the other countries I have visited, Barbados’s national language is English, also from being colonized by Britain.  The name barbados means bearded fig trees, which used to be plentiful on the island.  The average temperature is 75-90 degrees fahrenheit.  Barbados has a free educational system and has a 97% literacy rate, which is incredible.  One cool fact about Barbados is that they do not have daylight savings time.
