Andy and I went to the market in Portsmouth on Saturday. Many people get there around 5am, especially when certain things are in season. There is plenty for sale but the early risers get the best picks. We decided not to be too picky this week and caught a ride there around 7 or 7:30am. The market was busy and loud, rasta music pumping and vendors shouting. I loved it.
We had a list for my recipes for the week and went from stall to stall comparing items and prices. The yucca, yams, sorrel, and sugar cane really caught my eye. The following videos are sugar cane prep and coconut sales. Quite normal to see someone walking down the street with a machete. Enjoy two videos and 14 pictures below!
