We heard on day one that the only 'town' is "Settlement"....and it's about 1.5 miles away. We can do that...no problem.

Then we heard it was 5 miles...now we might walk it...and take a bus back! Today was the day to visit the one and only town, really...and we were told it was 7 miles.

We called Jerry! Or Leona called Jerry for us from Netptune's Treasure! This family is very special too....more later!

Settlement is small, poor and very tired! They are proud, industrious and definitely don't want their island turned into a concrete jungle like all their neighbors!

We met glorious locals...all, in colorful homes in various stages of repair and all drenched in a Mother Earth's explosion of color at every turn!

Claudia, who owns the only grocery store, cried the voice of her people "We have some bad seeds having arrived here and we don't want the big developers here either..."

Let's pray these humble folks decide what their futures hold, not the people who want to change it!
