some would agree that one thing people enjoy most about the Caribbean, besides its white sandy beaches, warm turquoise water, heaven in the tropics surroundings is the alcoholic beverages. i was born on a small island in the Caribbean. one you will not find on most maps. despite being devastated by a volcano which rumbled to life after 400 years and decimated most of the island in her wake, today we, the black irish, living home and abroad, are celebrating the unique union of slave revolts and irish heritage. this celebration has taken place since the 17th of march, 1798, which makes Montserrat, the emerald isle of the Caribbean, the only country in the world, besides Ireland, to celebrate St. Patrick's Day as a national holiday. would ya hand me ma green beer please? lol.
