Sunday February 20, 2011

I was up early and headed off to Mass at St Frances de Sales Church. I walked to the traffic light and then a block north to the Haitian community. There is a church bus stop there and I caught the yellow bus.

The keyboard player was absent. The choir sang all of the songs without any music. Peter the bartender from Mango’s was at Mass and he told me that I should have brought my guitar to church.

After Mass the church bus driver dropped me off at Mango’s. Riding the bus with all of the children was great fun. More kids attend Mass from the Haitian community than adults. I wonder why?

We went to Maxwell’s Grocery store and purchased provisions for the trip back to Florida. Fruit, juice, tomatoes, lettuce cereal etc. We took a cab to and from the store because we had so much food to carry we never would have made it on foot.

I gave Jerry a quick walking tour of the town. We ten dingied over to Jim and Ellie’s boat and had cocktails and snacks.

Then back to Mango’s for conch fritters. No live music this night as Estin was nowhere to be seen. Marsh Harbor shuts down on Sunday and there is very little activity. Then back down the dock the boat and to bed.
