We decided to rent a car on Wednesday and drive to Marsh Harbor to do some shopping. Treasure Cay - where we stayed - is a bit more remote, and I wanted to get some things for the kids. I can't believe I didn't take a picture of the "car" we rented. Let's see if I can describe it appropriately. It was made in the '80's, had no a/c, the speedometer didn't work....Get the picture?
The Bahamian people are so kind, helpful, trustworthy, and for the most part, very religious. Unfortunately, all the rental cars were rented on this day, so a lady at the golf cart rental shop "made a call" for us, and this dude showed up at our door.....What an adventure. The car made it through the day, although we had a pretty major scare about 3:30 that afternoon when it wouldn't crank. Lange finally got it going, thank the Lord.
This is where we ate lunch. The food was WONDERFUL, and we found out later it was a favorite of the locals. They served sweet tea - my favorite - and it was perfect!
These beautiful trees were blooming while we were there.
We encountered this often in the Bahamas. The people are VERY laid back. This was in the door at a souvenir shop in Marsh Harbor.
Palm trees with real coconuts - everywhere here

Hope Town, Bahamas - we rode a ferry over to this island after lunch
Conch meat is served at nearly every meal here. We tried some. It tastes a little like scallops or squid. Lange videoed this guy pulling the meat out. Interesting, huh?

Dinner on the water at Captain Jack's - I think I had fish every meal - DELICIOUS!
A sweet end to a beautiful day....
