When we went to Freeport, bahama a few years ago, we decided on a whim to go to church that Sunday even though we didn't have really appropriate church clothes. We usually go around here and it just didn't feel right. So we got out the phone book and found one and went there. When we got inside, everyone there was dressed up like Easter Sunday at our church, hats, suits, gloves, nice dresses, etc. Here we were in our jeans and t shirts! But anyway, they were really nice, announced us as visitors from the US-- and even made us go first through the cookie/coffee line after the service in the reception hall. (They do that every week, have church, then have a social hour in the reception hall).
They told us that it had snowed down there four or five years ago, just enough to whiten the ground, but not enough to accumulate. Several of the people there said they had taken pictures of it and had them at home. Then the minister insisted on driving us back to our hotel to save us cab fare. People are good everywhere aren't they? And weather is weird...
