St Johns, Antigua

Life in the main town here is a colourful, noisy,  bustling mixture  which assails you as you emerge from the cool of the car into the street. The air conditioning in my car is something which is rarely on but is a necessary sanctuary in the heat of the town.
The accents are wonderful and I have difficulty tuning in to what folks are saying sometimes.  The use of pronouns is a little different meaning  I have to retune   and listen carefully.  The lady attendant in the car park always greets us with an enormous smile and usually has some quip or information to share. 
I so want to take photos of the many individual characters I see with their long pleated hair and very colourful clothing but, from experience so far,  this intrusion into personal space is not welcomed....and I can appreciate that!

This particular sign is showing the office of The Directorate of Gender Affairs above the Pastry Shop....maybe we could learn something here?


Some of the signs never cease to amaze me and the only sure thing is to expect the unexpected!

I am not sure what is beyond the beauty supply!
