When I think of the Bahamas I think of music, sun and fun! Lovely place, very laid back with beautiful beaches and people that can not stop smiling. I experienced positive energy all around. Caught my attention a saying they have “worry about the bad things tomorrow”. Believe it or not, I started practicing it because the saying made sense to me. Map of The Bahamas
The Bahamas, known officially as the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, is an archipelagic state within the Lucayan Archipelago. It consists of more than 700 islands, cays, and islets in the Atlantic Ocean and is located north of Cuba and Hispaniola; northwest of the Turks and Caicos Islands; southeast of the US state of Florida and east of the Florida Keys. The capital is Nassau on the island of New Providence.
The official language of the Bahamas is still English, but many Bahamians speak a unique dialect of the language. They combine British English with language taken from their native African, Irish, or Scottish heritage. The islands’ Haitian residents also speak Creole.
