I am thinking about traveling abroad this weekend and narrowed down my search to Barbados, an island in the Lesser Antilles. Know anything about it?
I know a little bit about it.  Beautiful weather, great diving, lots of sailing opportunities.  What are you looking to do while there?
I was thinking about visiting the capital, Bridgetown. It's also its largest city.
I've never been there.  Is it on the coast?
It does! Bridgetown lies on the the southwestern coast of the island. Also known as Carlisle Bay.
I'm guessing there are lots of bridges....  What do you want to do while you're in town?
I really just want to meet the locals. I am sure I can meet some interesting characters there, since over 110,000 folks live in Bridgetown.
That's a fair sized city.  I'm sure you'll find lots of small food areas where you can meet locals.  I've always found the best food to come where the locals line up.
