Photo Essay -- Downtown Georgetown Exuma

After the second solid day of snow up north, I have decided to make my environment sunny and post a photo tour of downtown Georgetown in the Exumas. The Exuma chain is a mere 50 miles from Nassau at perhaps it closest point (I could be wrong about the exact mileage, but it is a rough order of magnitude).

The capital of the Exumas is Georgetown. It is a sleepy little town with not much going on. Here is my photo essay:

Above, I catch the town taxi stand at a less busy moment. It was a less busy moment for the entire day.

The "Welcome to Exuma" sign is posted at the town center. The building in the back is the government building and town hub (police, post office, fire, customs, courts, etc). Generally, any large building painted pink in the Bahamas is a government building.

The biggest thing that ever goes on in Georgetown, is the regatta. The judging stand pictured above is painted in the national colours of the Bahamas.

The city park on the harbour front provides a relaxing place to cogitate. However, as you can see in the photo, sometimes the crowds are hell.

Please patronize the local businesses.

And the Exuma sunrise on the Palm Bay is an amazingly beautiful sight.

All in all, if you want to get away from it all, and I really mean get away from it all, Georgetown is the place to go and relax. It has clean air and natural beauty going for it. You can catch a flight from Fort Lauderdale, or a flight from Nassau is just $70. If you have never been, you gotta go again.
