GUADELOUPE

T

his is the story of a girl who happened to
be in the right place at the right time when
a guy from Guadeloupe strolled into her
office. They met and had a conversation during
which she (not so subtly) mentioned how much
she wanted to visit the island for her birthday. One
sunny morning less than a month later, she found
herself outside the arrivals terminal of the airport
in Guadeloupe waiting on her newly-appointed
unofficial tour guide. That girl was me, of course,
and my guide proved to be very friendly and eager
to show me around his part of the ¨Butterfly¨.
