Georgetown on a Sunday evening

Looking down the Sea Wall

Looking in the other direction...

Now, it's been said that Caribbean people know how to Lyme/party. I don't know if that's true or not, but I do know that apparently everyone in Georgetown (isn't it everyone??) goes out to the Seawall (see earlier posts if you don't know what this is) on a Sunday evening.
So, we went out two Sundays in a row. It was interesting to see the difference in numbers the weekend after Mash. Don't know what Mash is? Check the next post... Apparently people did "mash up" so not as many were out. However, it's amazing to see people of all ages including babes in arms and strollers out on the wall. There are vendors - the "local" kind. And this week we also saw the mobile units from a few fast food places as well. The vendors are selling everything from beer and cigrarettes and gum (typical)... to bar-b-q chicken and rice... to burgers and hot dogs (complete with cole slaw and shredded cheese! There are also guys pushing carts by with nuts of all ages and types, ice cream, plantain chips, sugar cane and "gun oyl". I am not about to try this as it looks like a very thick thick callalloo type soup with boiled corn in it. the suggestion was that it's for the "men". I'm going to leave that alone. If anyone knows what it really is... please let me know.

We were still having a grand ole time. However, on Sunday night, at about 11p.m., three of our group of six were carted off to the interior. Not to be heard from since. Of course not, since we don't read smoke signals and most of them will have no electricity, no phones, etc in the interior. :(

Maybe we'll see them in a few months, but in the meantime, we (in Georgetown) have another party to prepare for on Saturday...
