A Walk About Fort-de-France

It was a misty morning so Bruce and I decided to walk around the port town of Martinique. We woke late which has become the norm on this cruise and looked out my balcony at dark clouds.

After drinking our coffee and tea we headed to the gangway and off we went. Steel drums playing and brightly colored clothing all around was a site to behold.

The streets were cobblestones and reminded me very much of European cities.

We visited the Cathedral of St. Louis and stopped to say a few prayers.

We stopped at a local bakery and had cappuccino and a French pastry.

We didn’t take a tour today but decided to walk through the city. There were many interesting buildings. If I visit again, I will travel into the rainforest to get a better feel for the Island. And many beautiful beaches are waiting for my return.

From our balcony, we watched as we sailed away from Martinique.

Tomorrow Antigua!

In 2015, I retired and my goal was to do as much traveling as I possibly could. I started the blog for our first month long trip to Panama in October 2015. My sister Linda and her husband Stan joined Bruce and I on our first trip and we decided together on the name the four amigos. Since then, we don’t always travel with them, sometimes just Bruce and I, sometimes other people, whoever wants to join us on our crazy journeys. The name stuck and I grew an affinity to it. So here we are. I invite you to join thefouramigos blog on our next destination.
