The first two are of signs in Speightstown. The first photo is a Barbadian rendition of Dora the Explorer. Looks oddly Asian and creepy. Regarding the second photo, Nora thought the concept of "Free Jams" to be funny and its hard to not laugh at the name "DJ Nibbles." Definitely a food theme at that bar.
The second group of photos are from Bridgetown. The first one is a picture of the Barbadian pledge, which I presume is the equivalent of our Pledge of Allegiance. The second is a picture of the Parliament building from a distance. The third photo is of Nelson's Column, the oldest column honoring Nelson in the world (yes it predates the famous one in Trafalgar square). The fourth photo is of Nora standing in front of the entrance to Independence Square, which sits across the Careenage from the Parliament building.
This last photo is a close-up of the Parliament building. On this side is where the government meets. Across the way, in the other half of the building not shown in the picture is where the museum of Barbados history and National Heroes is.
