RE: Antigua and Barbuda, Market Friday Style

Thank you! I don't post many of the photos that I take or even many of the trips I take, so I am glad you enjoy them. It encourages me to post more of them. :) The crime sounds worse when they write it, I think. Of course, that doesn't sound right either! Many times I take the words the State Department uses when we are traveling to a certain part of the world. They recommend to go or not go/what to look for regarding safety and other information. To me, one can find crime almost anywhere if one looks in the right places. I just don't go to sketchy-looking places. Of course, it does happen in nice places too, but, just like getting hit by a car walking down the street.

The cost of living is not that cheap compared to the money made, so I don't like to sit and try to bargain lower on something that is already very cheap. It is a beautiful little island and I didn't really do it justice as I only showed the downtown little area of street shopping.

I have been there five or six times and I have never seen a crime, felt uneasy walking through an area, or been manipulated or cheated in what I bought. The people are happy from what I can see and the atmosphere is gentle and calm. It is always ab enjoyable time.

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving your words.

#MarketFriday loves you!
