Please select options for Staggered Bullitt Chrome Wheel & Sumitomo Tire Kit - 20x8.5/10 (15-19 EcoBoost, V6) at the top of this page.
Easy "One Click" Shopping. This staggered combo kit features two 20x8.5 Deep Dish Bullitt Chrome Wheels and two 255/35R20 Sumitomo High Performance HTR Z III Tires for the front with two 20x10 Deep Dish Bullitt Chrome Wheels and 285/30R20 Sumitomo High Performance HTR Z III Tires for the rear. This popular Wheel and Tire Kit has been created for the exact specifications of your 2015-2019 Mustang for a guaranteed perfect fit with no rubbing or clearance issues.
Chrome Deep Dish Bullitt Wheel. Show off your pony heritage with the muscular good looks of the iconic Bullitt rim. The seamless spokes flow into a deep dish lip to exaggerate the width for an aggressive stance. They are plated in a three step process that includes copper, nickel, and then chrome for a bright show winning shine.
Application. This staggered 20" Deep Dish Bullitt Chrome Wheel and Sumitomo High Performance HTR Z III Tire kit fits 2015 to 2019 V6 and EcoBoost Ford Mustangs with standard 2-Piston brake calipers, does not fit 4-Piston or 6-Piston equipped models..
Unfortunately 325s are not available with this wheel/tire kit.
Not sure these will fit our 2015 GT premium convertible? Which currently has 20" wheels. Need tires that we can run in winter. Thanks !
Unfortunately this wheel/tire kit will not fit as the GT models use either 4-piston or 6-piston calipers. This wheel kit requires 2-piston calipers.
Will these rims fit my 2017 5.0 Mustangs.
This 20x8.5 Bullitt Wheel fits the front or rear of 2015-2017 V6 and EcoBoost Mustangs equipped with standard 2-Piston brake calipers. Unfortunately it is not designed to fit the GT mustangs.
i have a set of 4 bullits on the way for my husbands car......will my stock center caps fit your rim ?
The Ford genuine center caps will not fit these wheels, as the designs are slightly different. Many enthusiasts have been able to make the Ford center caps work, however, they require permanent alteration.
I had 18 inch all-season tires before, and I bought these to get the steering precision that you get with low profile tires. I mounted them on Sunday, had a four wheel alignment done on Monday and drove the car for grocery shopping within a mile range from my home two times during the week. On Friday I drove on a highway to visit a friend, 30 minutes each way. Certainly the ride on these is not as cushioned as I had with my previous tires and I could feel every mild imperfection of the road. But this was exactly what I was missing and I loved it. I swear that didn't hit any potholes. Normal steel to pavement joints such as when going over a bridge, normal (not raised) manhole cover, but no potholes. Then Saturday morning I discovered that front passenger tire is already warped. Stay away from this utter garbage!
Wheels and tires fit perfect. Glad I chose the 305's for the rear. The front would probably be better with 275's but the 255's still fit nicely! No clearance or coverage issues. I wouldn't recommend the 305's if you're planning on lowering.
The look great and would recommend them. Looks like a show car.

Richmond Rotary Names 14 to The Paul Harris Society
At Tuesday's Rotary luncheon District Governor 5890 Rhonda Kennedy was on hand to welcome fourteen Rotarians who joined the ranks of The Paul Harris Society.

The Paul Harris Society is named after Paul P. Harris, founder of Rotary International. Paul Harris formed the world's first service club, the Rotary Club of Chicago, on 23 February 1905. His intention was to recapture in a professional club the same friendly spirit he had felt in the small towns of his youth.
The Paul Harris Society is a special district recognition program designed for Rotarians who wish to support The Rotary Foundation in a more substantial way each year. The Paul Harris Society recognizes Rotarians and friends of The Rotary Foundation who annually contribute $1,000 or more to the Annual Programs Fund, PolioPlus, and PolioPlus Partners, or the Humanitarian Grants Program.
The first Paul Harris Society was established in 1998 in District 5340 (California, USA) by District Governor Wayne C. Cusick. The idea gained momentum and quickly spread to other districts throughout the world. The Trustees of The Rotary Foundation officially approved the Paul Harris Society as a district-administered recognition program effective 1 July 2006.
Contributions to The Rotary Foundation support our goal of advancing international understanding, goodwill, and peace. Participation in the Paul Harris Society is an especially meaningful and significant commitment. Annual contribution of $1,000 can help provide:
A well for clean water to a community in India
Equipment for a children's library in Ecuador
Polio vaccine for numerous children
Playground equipment, musical instruments, and therapeutic toys for rehabilitating orphans and other children in the Czech Republic
Eyeglasses for needy adults in the Philippines
Funding for a portion of a Group Study Exchange

Germanic Kingdoms Unite under Charlemagne
Published byBarbra Mathews Modified over 7 years ago
Presentation on theme: "Germanic Kingdoms Unite under Charlemagne"— Presentation transcript:
2 Germanic Kingdoms Unite under Charlemagne
The Middle Ages, or Medieval period ran from the fall of Rome to the Renaissance (roughly CE). The 1st half was called the Dark Ages To replace the institutions no longer operating due to the fall, new foundations were established to replace them
3 Invasions trigger changes
There were invasions from many different groups, mainly Germanic Constant warfare sparked new developments Disruption of Trade – business collapsed. Cities were no longer economic centers. Money became scarce. Downfall of Cities – Abandoned cities as administration centers Population Shifts – Cities didn't have strong leadership, nobles moved away to rural areas, as did the common population. People had to grow their own food.
4 So what's the downside? Decline of Learning – The invaders were illiterate so consequently the level of learning declined. Soon the only people who could read & write were mainly within the church
5 Loss of a Common Language – Without Roman administration many people no longer used or understood Latin (mainly used in church and official documents). Local languages developed and some that had been Romanized developed by including Latin words. These would later be called Romance Languages
6 Germanic Kingdoms Emerge
Small Germanic kingdoms replaced the Roman provinces. There was constant warfare The only thing that provided order & security during the Dark Ages was the Church
7 The whole perception of government changed
The whole perception of government changed. There were no longer countries to be proud of – people lived in clans and were personally loyal to the tribe or a chief To replace the institutions no longer operating due to the fall, new foundations were established to replace them
9 After victory, he & 3,000 of his followers were baptized
The Franks In Gaul, the Franks were led by Clovis. In 496, afraid of defeat, he called upon his wife's god who was a Christian, to help him After victory, he & 3,000 of his followers were baptized In 511, 15 years later he had united the Franks under one king. The church gave him their blessing
10 By 600 missionaries spread Christianity to most Germanic peoples as well as through the Frankish rulers.
11 Religious communities sprang up in the rural areas called monasteries.
Their members were called monks (at convents women were called nuns) They were servants of God and gave up their possessions and joined the monastery.
12 This is Tintern Abbey in England
13 Tintern was the most important abbey in Wales during the Middle Ages
14 St. Catherine's, Egypt
15 Greek Monastery
17 St. Michael's, Ukraine
18 Austria
19 Melk, Austria
20 Mont St Michel, France
21 Unhappy with the lack of guidelines in monasteries, St
Unhappy with the lack of guidelines in monasteries, St. Benedict a strict but practical list of rules for the spiritual and administrative
22 This was the most famous monastery Benedict founded – Monte Cassino
23 Built in 527 CE, the abbey would be sacked and destroyed twice, damaged by earthquake, and almost completely obliterated by the US Air Force towards the end of WWII
24 Pope Gregory I (also known as 1 of only 2 popes with the title "The Great") expanded papal authority stating that his influence covered all of Western Europe It was during his 14 years as Pope ( ) that the papacy became involved in secular (worldly) affairs He raised armies and acted as the mayor of Rome
25 After fall of Rome, Europe broke into many small kingdoms
Gaul would be controlled by the Franks Clovis would begin the Merovingian dynasty.
27 By 700 the man that actually ruled France was the mayor, or major domo
By 700 the man that actually ruled France was the mayor, or major domo. In 719, the mayor, Charles Martel (the Hammer) had more power than the king. Martel extended France's borders, and in 732 defeated the Moorish army at the Battle of Tours. Western Europe was essentially saved from Muslim occupation.
28 Charles Martel's son, Pepin the Short, helped the church in a battle against the Lombardians and in return they supported him and anointed him King. This began the dynasty called the Carolingians Dynasty which would last over 200 years.
29 Pepin's son replaced him, but died 3 years later.
Pepin's youngest son, Charles, became king. He would be better known as Charlemagne, or Charles the Great Here he is with his eldest son, Pepin the Hunchback, who would later be caught in an attempt to overthrow his father. He was sent to a monastery for life.
30 Charlemagne was supposedly 6ft 4in (at a time the average height in Europe was 5' 5"
Charlemagne was the defender of the Christian faith. He fought wars throughout Europe In 800, after helping the Pope he was crowned Holy Roman Emperor which joined together most of Germany, France, and northern Italy.
31 Charlemagne micro-managed his empire by having either himself or agents check on the state of affairs in each county A cultural resurgence began under his rule. Monasteries were ordered to open schools and cultural diffusion was encouraged by having scholars from England, German, Italian, and Spanish become part of his court. Monasteries were also required to copy more and more books so there would be more available tools for learning
32 When Charlemagne died in 814 C. E
When Charlemagne died in 814 C.E. his kingdom was turned over to his only surviving son, Louis the Pious. He was more suited as a monk than a ruler. His sons were worse. Louis split the empire into 3 parts for his 3 sons, who either spent their time attacking their father or fighting among themselves Their names were Lothair, Louis the German, and Charles the Bald. As their names imply they weren't very good rulers.

A haunting love story is the beating heart of Endless, a murder mystery/teen romance hybrid that delves into the dark belly of Hollywood.
The past year has shown that the sleaze and grime of Hollywood is still very much present and thriving. Women and men alike who have a dream to "make it" are confronted with this reality, as those with power seduce and abuse with promises of fame and riches. If the monsters within the industry don't get them first, the wolves lurking on the outside will. This is evident in the Black Dahlia murder of 1947 and many more that followed.
This is the premise on which Everlasting in based upon. Written and directed by Anthony Stabley, Everlasting follows the story of high school student and aspiring filmmaker Matt (Adam David), as he chronicles his romance with striving model Jessie (Valentino de Angelis) and the investigation of her murder. Travelling from Colorado to Los Angeles, Matt presents Jessie as a complicated albeit ambitious young lady who flew to close to the sun in her search for fame.
Everlasting presents is story via a mix of mockumentary style "home" footage and traditional filmmaking. The latter proves to be the more effective of the two. The mockumentary method can be tricky to pull off, and while it's understandable that this style of filmmaking suits the career ambitions of its lead character, young Adam David comes across as unconvincing during moments of taped confessionals. Where he does succeed is in the chemistry with Valentina de Angelis, her spunky, confident yet fragile portrayal meshing well with David's brooding intensity. Supporting turns from veteran talent such as Elisabeth Rohm, Richard LaSardo and the late Michael Massee compliment the young leads.
Stabley has most definitely made a movie from the heart, with his early forays into Hollywood some 20 years ago inspiring many an onscreen moment. One scene where Jessie is first introduced to the players of her newly chosen profession at a hedonistic Hollywood party is akin to a deer entering a viper's nest, and has more than a whiff of the realistic to it.
While the films serial killer narrative does not hold much in the way of suspense nor satisfies with its conclusion, the portrayal of its young lovers torn apart by murder so cruel has a certain power that intrigues and engrosses. It will be very interesting to see where Stabley and his lead players will venture next.

The Legendary Ann Wilson Reveals Details New Album 'Immortal'
Written by Jason Price on May 31, 2018
ANN WILSON of HEART, one of rock's most distinctive and powerful vocalists, will release her new solo album September 14 on BMG, marking her debut for the label. Fittingly titled IMMORTAL, the album features 10 musically diverse tracks that pay homage to some of the singer's favorite songs and artists, all of whom have passed away in recent years and whose music poignantly lives on (the full track listing is below).
For the new release, ANN has teamed with original Heart producer Mike Flicker (Dreamboat Annie, Magazine, Little Queen, Dog and Butterfly and Bebe Le Strange, among others). Look for the iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee to perform some of the album's songs when she tours North America this summer with Jeff Beck and Paul Rodgers for the "Stars Align Tour" (see below for full upcoming tour itinerary). The songs will also be featured in ANN's first-ever solo television special (details TBA), taped this past April at the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles, IL, to coincide with the album's release.
ANN chose the album title IMMORTAL after revealing some working titles early on in the project. "The original working titles evolved as the concept for the album evolved; a little bit at a time," explains ANN. "As my understanding of what I had undertaken grew and clarified, I realized a larger truth; that the souls may have departed but the songs will forever be their resonances. These are the poets of our time and their expressions must be handed down. Poetry is lasting and elemental like carvings in rock."
The finely etched tracks that comprise IMMORTAL cover a lot of musical ground, with many highlights including songs by Leonard Cohen ("A Thousand Kisses Deep"), Amy Winehouse ("Back to Black"), David Bowie ("I'm Afraid of Americans"), Lesley Gore ("You Don't Own Me") and Tom Petty ("Luna"). ANN says the criteria for choosing this collection of songs was easy. "First of all, I had to LOVE them! They had to be songs I could get inside of authentically as a singer. Lyrics are important to me but the most important thing is always the marriage of words and melody that makes the song magic!"
With sexism at the forefront of the national conversation, ANN says this did factor into the inclusion of "You Don't Own Me." "'You Don't Own Me' was originally an early feminist anthem in the 1960's and '70's. Since then the idea of self possession has grown to be more universal…This song is about refusing to be objectified and owned. By anyone."
IMMORTAL includes some very special guests as well. "Warren Haynes plays on Tom Petty's 'Luna' and 'You Don't Own Me,'" ANN reveals. "Ben Mink is featured on Leonard Cohen's 'A Thousand Kisses Deep' and Amy Winehouse's 'Back to Black.' They are both musicians and great people whom I admire. It's always a pleasure and an honor to work with them. Their souls shine through on these songs!"
Producer Mike Flicker brings an important element to IMMORTAL. "Mike was the first producer to believe in me," ANN says. "He was my first teacher in the studio and knows how to provide that special support needed to bring out my soul in the recording process. It is exciting to work with him for the first time since 1980. I have traveled many, many miles since then but the old feeling is still there and fresh on Immortal. He has fearlessly helped me bring my ideas to life once again and it's been a great collaboration."
The IMMORTAL track listing is as follows:
"A Different Corner" (George Michael)
"A Thousand Kisses Deep" (Leonard Cohen)
"Back to Black" (Amy Winehouse)
"Baker Street" (Gerry Rafferty)
"I Am the Highway" (Chris Cornell, Audioslave)
"I'm Afraid of Americans" (David Bowie)
"Life in the Fast Lane" (Joe Walsh, The Eagles) in honor of Glenn Frey
"Luna" (Tom Petty)
"Politician" (Cream) in honor of Jack Bruce
"You Don't Own Me" (Lesley Gore)
The "Stars Align Tour" with Jeff Beck and Paul Rodgers kicks off July 18 in West Valley City, Utah, and makes stops in over 20 cities across the U.S. and Canadaincluding Dallas, St. Louis, Chicago, Toronto and Nashville, before wrapping August 26 in Tampa.

Libya fighting kills 56 in a week —UN
Crime, World
Fighting in Libya's capital has killed 56 people and wounded 266 over the last six days, the World Health Organization said on Thursday, as the UN mobilised to support the country's over-stretched hospitals.
"Thousands of people have fled their homes, while others are trapped in conflict areas. Hospitals inside and outside (Tripoli) are receiving daily casualties," the United Nations health agency said in a statement.
WHO added that it has dispatched emergency teams to "frontline hospitals" and is boosting its stocks of medical supplies in areas affected by the fighting.
Military strongman Khalifa Haftar has launched an offensive to take Tripoli from the UN-backed Government of National Accord, intensifying the crisis in the country affected by divisions since the NATO-backed overthrow of dictator Moamer Kadhafi in 2011.
WHO's representative in Libya, Syed Jaffar Hussain, warned in the statement that an extended conflict and continuing casualties will "drain the area's limited supplies and further damage health infrastructure."
The UN push to support
hospitals around Tripoli "is being hampered by continuous shelling and armed clashes, including around heavily populated residential areas."
Particular concern has been raised about the plight facing migrants in Tripoli, many of whom have been detained in appalling conditions while trying to pass through Libya to reach Europe.
The UN refugee agency has already evacuated 150 people from a detention centre affected by the fighting and warned that others may need to be moved.
The WHO said that providing care to migrants was proving difficult amid the unrest.

I am taking part in the Internet Freedom Fellows program funded by the Department of State and managed by the U.S. Mission in Geneva. The fellowship follows up on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's pledge to find innovative ways to promote the use of the Internet in support of human rights. While in Geneva earlier this week, I took part in an event where Ambassador Eileen Chamberlain Donahoe, U.S. Representative to the Human Rights Council, reiterated Clinton's statement that the Internet is "the public space of the 21st Century."
For many the internet is like being a square or a Baraza. However many in Africa are yet to see the internet as a basic right. Ben Scott, Clinton's Policy Advisor on innovation whom I had a chat with called the internet is "the first truly 21st Century human rights issue."
We were looking at internet freedom and before I had asked how this basic right would be realized for many in Africa. Scott said that just like mobile banking (MPesa, Mobile money) is doing tremendously well in Africa, the internet access will continue to be majorly tied to mobile telephone penetration in Africa. He indicated that Africa's mobile phone penetration has surpassed Europe's yet it's still at 40 percent. This makes the internet and mobile phone market pose both an economic and political opportunity.
In most discussions it was clear that we have two types of freedoms related to the internet; freedom to access internet and freedom on the internet. All world leading economies have thrived on information systems and making them accessible to all citizens therefore increasing their participation in the economy. A connected society is going to be more prosperous and stable.
Many governments in Africa are moving to invest heavily in the laying down of internet infrastructure.As more people on the continent are connected to the internet, they will also seek a different kind of governance because of the access to information. This is what Scott called, a dictator's dilemma.
'Everyone recognizes that future of economy is largely based on information infrastructure. So governments want populations connected but at the same time they want to control speech on these networks and it's a dilemma," Scott said. "Internet tends to shift power from centralized institutions to many leaders representing different communities. Governments who want to censor are fighting a battle against the nature of the technology," Scott said.
So the dilemma that despotic leader, whom we have in plenty on the continent, face is political speech versus economic prosperity. Scott said: "You can't have one and leave the other and that's the exact dictator's dilemma."
This was well manifested in the recent protests in Uganda when the government instructed the internet service providers to shut down facebook and twitter. First the telecom industry is one of the leaders in tax revenues in Uganda and provides a lot of jobs for the Ugandan youth in a country where the number of unemployed graduates has become worrying. In the face of such a directive companies had a lot at stake, most telecoms provide internet and they feared a backlash. This directed was leaked to the press by people in the telecoms who were concerned that they would be the first victims of the backlash. So in the end the government didn't achieve its mission. President Museveni cannot choose to get the taxes from the telecoms which help him run the country and at the same time easily pass directives to control information.
Clay Shirky, Adjunct Professor at New York University graduate program Interactive Telecommunications said no other invention has ever threatened the Westphalia state like the internet has done. The states in the past were able to effectively control radio, newspapers and TV but the internet is a challenge.
"This is a cultural and political choice. Protecting freedom of speech is a governance challenge. Westphalia where government controls everything survived the 20th Century media innovations, we are going to see if they can survive the internet," Shirky said.
Only ten percent of Ugandans access the internet yet about 10 million of the 33 million Ugandans have mobile phones. The use of internet is partly hampered by illiteracy levels as well as cost but Uganda has a youthful population which is will take new information systems even with just post primary education.
There are real infrastructure problems hindering access to internet in Africa but we are seeing more investment. According to ComputerWorld, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi have linked forces together on a $400 million investment in terrestrial fiber optic cables. The new network is expected to run close to 16,000 kilometers from southern Sudan to Tanzania's border with Zambia. The terrestrial network called the East Africa Backhaul System will connect to the submarine fiber-optic cables on the East Africa coast.
However some governments have already moved to suppress freedom on the internet. According to recent report from Freedom House, Ethiopia's internet is one of the top less free in the world.Internet access has been denied and controlled through monopolizing the communications industry to curtail freedom of expression. In Ethiopia the few people that access the internet that is government controlled cannot freely express themselves.
This kind of control is what my friend Ssozi told me about when we shared about internet as a basic right declaration. He said as long as access to information is not a right, internet being a basic human right declaration will not benefit most of the people living under undemocratic governments.
Even with infrastructure in place many worry that some governments in Africa may decide to go the China way which has put up what's now famously called the 'Great firewall of China'. It's a deceptive path for African governments who may be considering the China way of having economic prosperity and also stifling freedoms of expression and speech.
China spends a lot of money on building firewalls to prevent free speech but Scott believes this cannot easily be replicated. He says even with its economic might, it will be very costly for China in the long-run to block people from accessing information. The costs of bypassing the firewalls are way cheaper than putting one, some said.
In Africa, government still have a hold onto public broadcasting which many people rely on in the absence of cheap accessible internet. So for internet access as a basic right to be realized or even for it to make a difference in the way citizens in Africa can hold their governments accountable, development budgets and strategies for both by governments and international development organizations must take this into consideration.
There has to also be efforts to ensure protection in the face of growing desire by governments to curtail freedom on the internet in the wake of North Africa uprisings. We have seen internet play a key role in protests in Swaziland, Gabon and Uganda to some extent.
At a recent meeting of bloggers organized by Google Africa and Global Voices there was a general concern that many African government are employing tactics of threatening the internet user s directly instead of cutting off internet or attacking their sites which could bring about immediate condemnation. In Uganda journalist Timothy Kalyegira is the first person to be arrested and charged for an online article written in Uganda Record.
Scott said that in the internet age there has to be a "move from government to government diplomacy to a people to people diplomacy." When a question on recent Wikileaks case, Scott argued that there's need to balance state security and internet freedom. Yet it's in the same name of security that authoritarian government crackdown on their citizens.
Shirky says the debate on whether there can be internet freedom is still very much open. "No country recognizes universal right to speak. The negotiation around this kind of freedom is going dominate the next 10 yrs."

American campaigns, whether it is for city council or President of the United States, are the product of four ingredients: candidate, message, money, and organization.

Congressmembers call on BSA to end discrimination against gays and lesbians
Twenty-six Members of Congress have urged the Boy Scouts of America to end its discriminatory policy of not accepting gays and lesbians in a letter sent to the Chief Scout Executive of the organization.
The correspondence, initiated by U.S. Representatives Gary Ackerman (D-NY) and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), was sent in response to the Boy Scouts' rejection of Cate and Elizabeth Wirth, a couple in Vermont who were told they could not volunteer for their 10 year old son's Cub Scout pack after it was revealed that the women are lesbians.

(Honolulu, February 1, 2010) —
The Hawai'i Legislature has failed to enact a law providing broad legal rights and duties to the state's lesbian and gay couples, tabling a Bill through an anonymous voice vote that had previously been approved by both houses of the Legislature.
The Hawai'i Senate had approved H.B. 444 — a bill to create "civil unions"— by a veto-proof 18 to 7 majority the week before, sending the bill back to the House for a conforming vote. Although the House had passed H.B. 444 by an emphatic 33 to 17 margin last year, House members used an anonymous voice vote to kill the bill on Friday, January, 29, a tactic that elicited calls of "cowards" from backers of the bill.

Expected Executive Action Could Change 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Implementation
On Tuesday, Feb. 2, executive changes to the "don't ask, don't tell" policy are expected to be announced that could significantly impact the lives of gay troops. The expected statements from Defense Secretary Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen would protect some service members from investigations based on third-party allegations and set a new standard for what constitutes reliable sources and credible information that trigger a "don't ask, don't tell" investigation.
It is also expected that the military brass will announce changes to the adjudication of potential discharges, whose effect could be to require a flag officer to sign off on any discharge for it to move forward.

20 Best Things to Do in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
© Courtesy of pkazmierczak - Fotolia.com
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is a beautiful Caribbean country that consists of 32 small and large islands, stretching from Saint Vincent Island to Grenada. Nine of them are inhabited. With a rich French and British colonial history, the country is now part of the Commonwealth of Nations and CARICOM. Saint Vincent and Grenadines is a popular tourist destination, with a combination of lush tropical forests perfect for eco-tours, magnificent coral reefs around Tobago Keys in the Tobago Keys National Marine Park, fine sandy beaches for sun worshipers, and luxury hotels and resorts hidden among lush vegetation. There is even the live volcano Soufrier to make things interesting.
1.St. Vincent

Saint Vincent is the largest island of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It is home to a live volcano, La Soufriere, which last erupted in 1979. Its summit is the highest peak in the country. The largest town is Kingstown, a modern, bustling metropolis with about 25,000 people. It is also the island's main port. The rest of the population lives mostly along the coast. The island's interior is mountainous and densely forested, and beautiful beaches with black sand (a consequence of island's volcanic origin) surround it. In contrast, the beaches in the Grenadines have white sand. The Vermont Nature Trail is a popular way to get around the island's spectacular natural scenery and see many island's endemic species, as well as over 500 native parrots. A scenic coastal trail will take you pass by Fort Charlotte and many fantastic waterfalls, with breathtaking views around every corner. You might even try climbing to the summit of the Sufriere volcano.

Located at the foot of La Soufrière Volcano in the northwest of St. Vincent, Dark View Falls are two spectacular waterfalls that spill from a small Richmond River tributary, one above the other, spilling over the face of a high cliff and dropping into the deep natural pool. A hike from the parking lot to the falls is only about 15 minutes of an easy walk, but you first have to go through a shady bamboo grove and then over a natural bamboo bridge that crosses the tumbling river to get to the falls. It is an adrenaline-pumping adventure, but it is well worth it. The pools below the falls are wonderful for a cooling swim.

7.Happy Island

Just off the coast of Grenadines' Union Island is a very special island that is home of the local artist, builder, and visionary Janti Ramage. He named his home Happy Island, and you will know why when you come to visit. His home and bar are made entirely of conch shells he scavenged over time from the neighboring beaches where fishermen threw them away after taking out the succulent muscle. Janti took the mountains of abandoned shells that were becoming a local problem and, combining them with bits of exposed coral rocks, created a flat platform that became a surface for his new little island. He built a bar and patio on it and even planted some palm trees, creating a unique Union Island attraction no visiting sailor or tourist can miss.

The Grenadines' smallest inhabited island, Mayreau covers only about one and half square miles and has only one village with no name where everyone lives. The village is perched on top of Station Hill on the south-west end of the island and has a school, the Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception, a telecommunications building, and a Pentecostal church. Behind the Catholic Church is an overlook that offers spectacular view of Tobago Cays, Canouan, and Union Island. There is a single-lane road that runs from the Saline Bay through the village to Saltwhistle Bay. Saline Bay got its name because of the salt pond from which salt was exported in the past, but it is now used only by the locals. Most of the islanders are fishermen, the tourism is an important part of the island economy. There is a small resort on Saltwhistle Bay, which is also a very popular anchoring spot for the passing yachts.

9.Moonhole

Moonhole is a private nature preserve and community on the western tip of Bequia Island in the Grenadines. Moonhole got its name from a huge arch in the volcanic cliff through which it is possible to see the setting moon at times. Thomas and Gladys Johnston, former NY advertising execs, founded the preserve in the 1960s. They built a house under the arch with the help of masons from the nearby Paget Farm village and created a massive room using native hardwoods, whalebones, and various objects collected on the beach. The room is open on one side to the spectacular view of the ocean. The unique dwelling at first had no electricity, water was collected from rain, and a huge tree grew through the master bedroom. The guest bedrooms were created around a veranda, a central dining room, and a large bar built from a jawbone of humpback whale. The community today has 11 private homes and is dedicated to the protection of this unique architecture, vision, and local nature.

The Owia Salt Pond is located near the small village of Owia on St. Vincent's North Eastern Coast. The area is inhabited by the Black Caribs, the country's indigenous people. The "pond" was created by the lava from the Soufriere volcano, which cooled when it reached the sea and formed a small bowl in which salt water accumulates. The pond is replenished by the waves that splash over the rocks, keeping it perpetually fresh and at the same level. The pond, which is surrounded by large volcanic rocks that protect it from the ocean, is a popular tourist destination, and many people come to swim in its warm, salty water that is believed to have therapeutic characteristics. The pond is surrounded by well-maintained grounds with a gazebo, fire pits, showers, and park tables and benches.

12.Palm Island
Palm Island is a small island in the Grenadines, about one mile from Union Island. Once a swampy, bug-infested place, the island has been transformed and converted into a coconut plantation by John Caldwell and his wife Mary. Palm Island is today the home of Palm Island Resort and Spa, a luxury 40-room hotel with two restaurants, a pool, gym, and many other facilities. The resort once had a golf course that has since been reclaimed by nature. The island is a heaven for wildlife and birds. It has a number of land turtles, which were brought to replace those washed away by a 2015 hurricane. The most commonly seen animals are geckos, several kinds of lizards, hermit and land crabs, sea turtles, mocking birds, doves, pigeons, sandpipers, herons, hummingbirds, osprey, gulls, and frigate birds.

13.Petit Nevis Whaling Station
© Courtesy of trattieritratti - Fotolia.com
Whaling has been a traditional occupation of Bequia fishermen for centuries. Today the native people of Bequia Island are among the rare world populations the International Whaling Commission tolerates. As for the Inuit people, whale hunting in Bequia was necessary for survival since there were no other resources on the island. Whale hunting in Bequia continues to be a traditional and non-commercial activity. No motor boats can be used to hunt the whales, and their long, elegant wooden sailboats used for whale catching are a tourist attraction. They can use only handheld harpoons and no whale product may be exported. Only four whales can be killed per year. But, the whale hunt is losing its popularity on the island; some former whale hunting families refuse to participate and some seasons no whales are killed.

There is also a nice display of old, faded black and white photos of the Bequia oldest schooners built from the 1930s to 1985 and photos of the 1985 Queen of England's visit to the island.
