The Journey to the Queens Staircase

After seeing the straw market, we went to see some of the shops. The Del Sol shop was interesting with all the sun affected color changing stuff. We kept walking and found Parliament Square. Here is a statue of Queen Victoria.


The Garden of Rememberance. It is a memorial to the Bahamian soldiers from World War II. It was very nice. It is in between Parliament Square and the Library. The Library was closed so we didn't get to go in.
Public Health message.
We decided to walk towards the Bahamas Historical Society Museam mostly because it just south of the Queen's Staircase. The museam ended up being closed. This Zion Baptist Church was nearby.
The water tower is near the Queen's Staircase, but we did not go to it.

During our walk, we learned one thing. The people of Bahamas drive crazy-like. They have no rhyme or reason with their driving. They do have red-lights, but don't really use them. They have them set on the blinking red mode. Why don't the Bahama goverment actually use the red-lights to give everyone a chance to get to where they are going without almost causing an accident? One road we walked on to get to the Staircase was very narrow and didn't have any sidewalks. So we would walk and duck in between parked cars when a car went pass. When the road widen, we were at the Bahama Hospital. At least if we had gotten hit, we won't have far to go to get medical attention, lol.
