NASSAU, BAHAMAS

The resort Atlantis from our balcony on the cruise ship.

HEY MON! NO PROBLEM

   After disembarking from the ship, you are bombarded with people trying to sell you tours, hair braiding and goods. We immediately were approached by a man named Hurry Murray, and yes that was his name. Hurry was offering a special for only  $35.00 each, he would give us a tour of Nassau, which actually was a good price. He had a three-ring binder that showed all the places he would show us, we agreed and  had the most fun with this man for two and a half hours. He drove an old mini van that had paint coming off, seats that were worn to the batting, and the ceiling had a hit and miss lining, yet he had one of the most expensive up to date stereo systems on the market. What was fun, was he would talk about the sites, tell stories, and at the end of each of these he would hit a song on his stereo that went  with the point of interest or story.  

    My favorite story goes that a boy went to his father to ask if he could marry his girlfriend, and his father says "No", the boy asks "Why", and his father replies, "now don't tell your mamma because she don't know, but your girl friend is your sister". When the boy sees his mamma he tells her, " I can't marry my girlfriend", she asks "Why", and he replies, "Daddy says I wasn't suppose to tell you, but my girlfriend is my sister", and his mamma says, "Go ahead and marry dat girl, cause she ain't your sister, cause your daddy ain't your daddy, and your daddy don't know."  Then our tour guide Hurry blasted out the song on the stereo "Don't worry, just be Happy".
