We spent Friday exploring Charlestown, the capitol of Nevis. It was bustling for some reason. As we walked towards the IGA, a large grocery store approximately two miles from the dinghy dock, we saw the fruit and vegetable market full of produce, with multiple vendors. The other day there were only two or three vendors located in the building. We walked past the magistrate’s office and courthouse. I really wish I had been able to take a picture there, as we saw people dressed in regal attire. I’m sure that this was traditional business wear, but it was interesting to see. There appeared to be an officer dressed in a brown suit with gold buttons and red trim. We also saw someone dressed in black clothes with what appeared to be a black cowboy hat with swagger. People were mulling about outside of the building, which was located along a square. In the square people were going about their business, chatting away with friends and visiting the smaller businesses along the streets.
