This is a tuk - tuk (took -took) that we used to get home from the market. It was VERY HOT on this day.The flowers that Sarah Joy has in her hand were a huge bundle (3 dozen roses) . We are able to buy these fresh on market days. They are VERY inexpensive and Sarah Joy's FAVORITE thing in the world ! (flowers and ice cream that is). 
A typical street scene. These women carry anything from food to babies in their bundles. 
Cooper, Darby(our van driver for church on Sundays) and Jacob at one of the many volcanoes that surround us here in Antigua.
Poverty and its effects always catch my breath. 

The umbrellas in this photo are little mini market booths set up to sell everything from local food items(we haven't tried anything yet...but you should smell the grilled corn - yummm! )to little trinket toys and newspapers. Market day on Saturdays are always exciting. This is the same day that we took our tuk tuk home. It has the feeling of being at a festival every Saturday.
