Liming in Anguilla...
Lim•ing verb
1. To hang out, unwind and have a good time

 
 

If you have visited Anguilla, spoken with the warm and friendly people who live here, and certainly if you have hung out time and time again with Anguillians, then you have likely heard the verb "liming", or have heard it used as a noun, "a lime."

This basically means to kick back and relax, whether it be at home with drinks and food, or at the beach. It's a wonderful word!

Before we moved to Anguilla in 2008, whenever we were away from Anguilla, we'd long for its shores and for a "beach lime."

Then, the only way for us to re-live liming in Anguilla was through photos.

The more photos, the warmer we felt, the better we felt, the closer we felt to Anguilla!

We always looked through our old vacation photos. When they ran out, we sought out unique and original Anguilla photos.

They really removed those thousands of miles.

We soon discovered that we weren't alone in the comfort felt by gazing at pictures of Anguilla.

Over the years, many people have shared beautiful photos of Anguilla, fun ones, emotive ones, ones that capture a certain essence and take you back to a certain moment.

Photos From Earlier Days

Before the likes of Facebook and Instagram, many readers would email photos in. Here are a few of my favorites shared by readers over the years...

... and this photo of Deb's she titled "Let the race begin!"
On the weekend, the locals were racing these model boats, they were hilarious!

... and then this follow-up shot she called "Go get 'em!"
They would then jump into this motor boat and chase the models down. Let the race begin!
