I am a little concerned in all the rebuilding that the islands are loosing a lot of their funkiness.
The islands are not losing their "funkiness"! To me "funkiness" is a vibe, and that vibe is still there.
Do things look new, yes, they do, when you are wiped clean to nothing you have to rebuild.
This rebuild is hard work, and I am totally proud of each and every family, business, establishment on all of the islands, and what they have been able to accomplish Post Irma.
