A few summers ago, I took a cruise to the Bahamas with my family. This picture was taken in Nassau. We were supposed to spend a day in Key West, Florida, and then go on to Nassau. Due to problems with our ship, we ended up spending one day in Freeport (Bahamas) instead of Key West and one day in Nassau. As much as I love Key West, I was really glad that we ended up spending a day in Freeport. I liked Freeport so much better than Nassau. Freeport seemed less commercialized somehow. In Freeport, we went to the little market (that sits right in the middle of town) and then we spent the rest of the day on the beach. I stayed off the ship the whole time we were in Freeport. Nassau was a different story. Nassau is very beautiful but it seems so commercialized. I did not get to rest on the beach in Nassau. Everywhere I went, peddlers were trying to sell me something or braid my hair. "Hey pretty lady, pretty American lady; let me braid your hair." "Hey pretty lady, pretty American lady; let me take you on a horse and buggy ride." UHH, after a few hours of this, I went back to the boat (excuse me, ship) to get some peace.
