Jan 30, 2015 Tour of Fresh Creek and Androsia Factory

For some reason or another, Rich and Kathy are not taking Bitts and I with them AGAIN.  They say the rental car is too small, but heck, we're small too.  So off they went with Sea Wolf, this time to Fresh Creek, where the they found the bank, the resort, and the Androsia factory.  You might be wondering what Androsia is.  Well, it is a batik fabric manufactured in Fresh Creek since 1973.  It is brightly colored fabric which is unique to the Andros culture and native to only Andros.  The fabric is used throughout the Bahamas, but shipped throughout the world.  Kathy bought a blouse and baseball cap.  She also saw the Seminole Baskets for sale at 4 times what she paid in Red Bay.  As Rich says, "We are going broke saving money".  They ate lunch at a local restaurant and said it was excellent...chicken, coleslaw, rice and beans, and mixed vegetables.  It took about an hour to get there and back because of all the potholes in the road.  I don't really know what a pothole is, but apparently this island has a lot of them.
