Freeport, Grand Bahamas

We have once again escaped the cold climes of Florida and headed south. It is about 10 degrees warmer which makes De Anne 100% happier. 

We have a nice little corner unit, ground floor condo at the end of Bell Channel. 

Last night the lack of food drove us out into the streets. Lucky for us a cab driver with a few folks already aboard stopped and asked us if we wanted to go to the fish fry. We had heard about the famous Wednesday fish fry on the beach, so needed little encouragement. I hate fish, but because ribs and chicken were offered too I was inclined to board the cab. The beach huts reminded us of Ecuador. The  food and music was good and the entertainment was watching an elderly man fry fish in a huge cast iron pot over a wood fire.

We solved the food crisis today with a ferry ride, walk and a bus ride. The buses here are vans with "public transportation" written on the side. When you get in you hand the driver $1.25 and tell him where you want to get off. Island food is expensive! A Whole Foods in the USA would be cheaper. As an example - a one pound box of Meullers pasta is $3.29. This may be an excellent time to start a diet. At least rum is cheap.
