hello again!
i thought it would be cool to post a blog of some of the things that we see around Georgetown.
last night for superdate rob took me to the top of the working lighthouse in town to watch the sunset. it was nice to get a different perspective on the city, especially because i’m getting a bit of Georgetown rage lately (noise, lewd comments, etc.). i think now that it feels like we’re leaving so soon it’s more challenging to stay focused here. that being said, it’s been a great weekend so far, so hopefully the positivity keeps up.
from our vantage point, we could see most of the city, which is completely flat (and actually below sea level). we could also look out to where the demerara river meets the atlantic ocean.
one of the other big tourist sights here is the cathedral, which is supposed to be the world’s largest free standing wooden structure.
i’ve said before that along the sides of the roads run canals of water (and sewage). one of the streets that we ride down every day has a bigger canal than most (lovingly dubbed ‘shit creek’) and makeshift houses on the other side. the people have constructed bridges complete with front doors that they lock to prevent people from crossing.
that’s it for now, but i’ll try to get some good pictures of the seawall and the dutch architecture for a later posting.
take care!
