HAT STORE, MARTINIQUE
Years ago I went to St. Lucia to visit some dear friends. I was flying from Haiti on Air France and had to change planes in Martinique to a British West Indies flight. The schedules overlapped by 40 minutes, the wrong way, so that I had to spend 23 hours and 20 minutes in Martinique going out and coming back. Not a hardship at all -- Martinique was fascinating. I visited the destroyed former capitol of Saint-Pierre, wiped out by the eruption of Mont Pelée in 1902. But I spent most of my time wandering around Fort de France, visiting the covered central market and discovering all kinds of wonderful sights, like this hat store.
