This weekend was full of events! It is interesting that Saba is the smallest place I have ever been, and probably will ever be, but as Nathan pointed out, we have been exposed to more cultures during our time here than anywhere we've ever been!
Friday night we celebrated Happy Diwali. Diwali is a festival of lights celebrating the triumph of good over evil. This is a festival celebrated by Hindu and many other Indian cultures. Saba students, professors, and local people, participated in a show which included: dancing, singing, music, and food. The show exhibited music and dancing from various Indian, American, and Saban traditions. It was wonderfully done and the food afterwards was delicious. I didn't get any good photos, but, I have one of the stage.

Saturday, was also full of Celebration! Our friends Steve and Deven have special visitors, their girlfriends were here for a visit. The six of us, went for a hike called the Ladder. The Ladder has an interesting history on the island of Saba. The Ladder used to be the only way to import supplies onto the
island, it is a very steep climb, it is impossible to imagine how people managed to survive under such harsh circumstances.
