No fresh produce until the roof is repaired |
As always, in passing through the Bahamas, we stopped at
Clarence Town, Bahamas. One of the great attractions there for us is the
government packing house, where all the local farmers bring their produce
weekly to be packed and shipped out to the other islands. You can get great
deals on tomatoes, peppers, papaya, bananas, pumpkin, and more. This is a
blessing, because otherwise, the fresh produce in the supermarkets is expensive
and not-so-fresh, most being shipped in from the states. Unfortunately, the
packing house lost its roof in the hurricane last year, so no fresh produce. We
had to satisfy ourselves with our second-favorite C.T. attraction – the conch
fritters and a drink at Rowdy Boys. The rum punch was on special that day, and
yes, it packed a punch!
