Days 47-48: November 18-19, 2024 – Fort-De-France, Martinique
Martinique, an overseas region of France, came with a safety warning about civil unrest. Local authorities reported that the country has faced social and economic disturbances in recent months, and advised caution when navigating the island. I was a little hesitant to walk around (especially with camera in hand), but all was calm and I didn’t see any problems.
This fellow walking down the street pointed to my camera, then to himself, so I obliged, and made him the face of Martinique.
Walking through a park, this trail of flower petals from the Sea Poison Tree caught my eye. All parts of the tree are poisonous, but the white stamens with pink tips made for a pretty flower trail.
Next stop: Roseau, Dominica
