Friday afternoon in Castries

G said today that you haven't been to the Caribbean until you witness market day firsthand. The locals must be very healthy eating all the fresh fruit and vegetables. That is, if the dirt and the water don't kill them.


It's a different world down here. But a small world too, in many ways. As I said, I'm not sure I've figured out St. Lucia after close to 20 visits here.


When you think of these islands, you probably imagine palm trees and beaches, hammocks and tropical drinks. Those are all true. But Friday afternoon traffic in Castries seems like anything BUT paradise.
