Day 10

Off again in our bus for a trip to Pointe-A-Pitre, from our hotel in Le Gosier. First pic is of the islands- so you can see why they call it the 'butterfly islands'. Le Gosier is in the very south part of the Grande Terre--the island on the right. Pointe-A-Pitre is abit north of Le Gosier. We did a lot of street walking, showing some of the older houses. we visited a museum, that showed some of the costumes from Mardi Gras. pretty fancy. one pic showing a womans face is the old art gallery. It is being torn down, because it is not earthquake safe. they will build a new one with steel beams. Then we toured a church, again rebuilt with steel. Finally we went to a street market. Our tour leader treated us to ice cream before coming home. The last pic is a mock up of our hotel site-- you get an idea of how large it is. I have gotten lost 2x, trying to find our room!
