Market, St. Georges

Today me and Danielle got up at 7 so we could get to the Market at St. Georges as it opened to get first pick.  As one of our professors said, the public transportation here is some of the most efficient in the world.  For 1 US dollar, the busses will find you.  They will back up on a highway to let you on; they will off-road it; they would fly if they could to get you on the bus. 

So as the bus was barreling down the windey, narrow roads, I couldn't help but just look and be like "wow, I live here now, and I absolutely love it".  Don't get me wrong, it is not the US.  Expect delays, expect tampons to cost $30 US, dont expect chicken cutlets, or fresh eggs every day at the store... As they say here "eggs are finish"... Everything could be "finish".  Copy machine could be "finish"; after a long walk, legs could be "finish".  Love it. 
Anyways, the market is just as you would expect it to be: bustling, fresh, packed.  It was amazing though.
I brought $25 US with me and here is what I got (including my trip to the grocery nearby, and bus fare):
 Dozen Eggs
2 large cucumbers
2.5 lbs of tomatoes
Saffron
Orregano
Curry
2 ears of corn
2 bushels of snap peas
a giant avocado
onions
loaf of bread
3 fresh Banana-ish fruit (not plantains, not bananas)
and out of necessity: Instant coffee.

It was AWESOME.  I didnt take pics at the market because I wanted to get good deals and I didnt want to look touristy...even though I am.  I will take pics next time.

In conclusion, you CAN eat cheap here.  You just have to get up very early saturday morning and get to the market... Get there too late, and all da tings is finish.
