Monday - day 5
We spent the morning of our final day of our Nassau vacation
walking to some places we hadn't visited so far.
We walked past several churches and government buildings,
making our first stop at the Nassau Public Library and Museum. The
octagon shaped building was constructed in 1798. It was converted into
a library in 1837. Portions of the upper floors serve as a museum, but
the exhibits have little organization and the labels could be more detailed.
It felt more like storage of the artifacts.
We also visited the nearby government buildings housing
the Supreme Court, Parliament and Central Police Station.

Our final meal of the trip was at the place we had intended
to have the first meal. Señor Frog's is known more for the entertainment
than for the food. The popular bar and grill chain has locations across
Mexico, the southern US and the Caribbean. The menu is heavy to Tex-Mex,
beer and frozen drinks.
There was always something going on, from making guacamole
table side, to the staff doing a group dance, to the DJ getting the customers
to do silly things in exchange for having a shot poured in their mouth
from a squeeze bottle.

Following lunch, we returned to the hotel, picked up our
bags and took a taxi to the airport. It gave us a chance to see some of
the west side of New Providence Island in daylight. Our flights home through
Atlanta with Delta Airlines were uneventful.
