Greetings! We recently returned from a trip to Antigua and Barbuda (country #76). Below, you will find information and photos from our trip. ANTIGUA Antigua (ann-tee-guh) is the larger of two sister islands (108 square miles/280 square km) that are found in the Leeward Islands within the Lesser Antilles, surrounded by the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Despite being surrounded by water, there are no sources of fresh water on the island. Antigua natives are primarily of African descent, with most of the 100,000 population living within the capital of St. John’s. Antigua was colonized by the British in the 1600s, and eventually became part of the Leeward Islands…
