We spent most of our time at Atlantis but did take the ferry to downtown Nassau one morning. I'm not a big fan of being pushed to buy things (especially junk) but we did find a few souvenirs at the straw market.
The man in the boat, pictured above was extremely fascinating to me. He was docked right along the walkway in front of the straw market, presenting his wears to anyone who would look. It would be acceptable to assume that he went out, fished the beautiful conch and starfish out of the deep blue sea, cleaned them up and brought them to sell. He had a large group standing around him and he must have done well because, let's face it, there really isn't a plethora of quality items at the straw market to buy. A cynic would say that he bought them in bulk, put them in his boat and sold them for a much higher price. If that is the case he really did create a beautiful illusion. We didn't buy anything from this man, but we did admire what he had to offer.
RUN REPORT: There's not much to tell because work has overtaken my life this week and I have yet to run. Hopefully today will work out for me.
