Last Saturday, October 17, was the International Food Festival here in Nassau and it was quite a fun day of exploring the food, drink and crafts of various cultures. There were tents set up by many countries who have a presence here in Nassau, including but certainly not limited to: Greece, Ireland, France, India, China, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, South Africa, Chile, Brazil and many others you may see in my photos.
If my memory seems foggy, it is with good reason. The Bacardi tent. A few international beers and some Greek spanakopita and then the Bacardi tent made an appearance to polish off my drinks for the afternoon. The festival was held at the Nassau Botanical Gardens, so the surroundings were quite pretty, and the weather was sweltering aside from about fifteen minutes of rain (ominous clouds pictured). After our day long adventure (noted as one of the only things to do in Nassau besides beach/touristy exploration) we headed to tourist mecca Senior Frogs for some nachos and beer.
Today will be exciting - a wine, cheese and art party held at the National Trust. I will add details and pictures subsequent to my adventure today, which hooks patrons with all the sample wine, cheese and snacks you can handle for $25. Goal: remain capable of speaking intelligently about said art.
As an aside, here is a picture of me high-fiving the first Bahamian-born Governor General of the Bahamas. Tim and I explored the downtown Nassau area on Discovery Day; many things were closed but it was great to see the infamous Straw Market and have a donut at Dunkin'!
