Antigua - heading inland

23 March 2012
One thing that we try to do while traveling is to take the local bus instead of taxis. It is a good way to see the countryside and save a ton of cash. A couple days ago we were waiting at a bus stop in Antigua in the middle of no-where. (We had stopped to visit the Chiropractor, who was born in Calgary). A young boy, maybe 8 yrs old, walked up to us and under his breath said "white people sure look different". Marc said pardon me and again under his breath said "white people look different in the real world". He was a little shy and did not want to offend us, but was merely making an observation. There are some things that we take for granted and it is obvious here that the locals do not have the same opportunity that we do.
