Side of the road...

The following post relates to things that I have seen for sale on the side of the road. It will be updated as I explore the islands further. To date, I have seen:

1) Mangoes.
Charlie (Sam's boyfriend) insists that they have been stolen from his Uncle's farm. I believe it, but others may also have fallen victim to mango thieves as there are mangoes for sale periodically throughout what I have seen of Nassau. Sold out of a wooden crate, often a car full of mangoes parked nearby.

2) Daquaris.
There is a daquari stand in front of the resorts down the street. Apparently they are about $6 and worth the detour on the walk home from school! Yet to be explored.

3) Cell phone cards.
A small wooden stand (roughly the size of a port-a-potty) where men sell phone cards. Phones are pay-as-you-go here for the most part, and so adding $10 or $20 at a time becomes much more convenient when you can pull over for more time and/or buy it while stopped in traffic!

4) Back to school supplies.
I assume this is dependent on the time of year, but I will get back to you. Beside the mall, a series of stands selling backpacks, clothes and other related items.

5) Peanuts.
Apparently some guys drive around on a bicycle, selling hot peanuts. Reminds me of a depression-era book I read which involved the sale of hot nuts on the street. Question: in 40 degree weather, who wants hot nuts? That's right: nobody.

6) Hubcaps.
A guy riding some sort of bike thing, completely loaded up with more than thirty different hub caps. We were driving or I'd have taken a picture, but Charlie and Sam can verify it's existence. I hope to one day capture the spectacle.
