The Guyanese market - rich with color and food in abundance

Now, this is the irony.  When you walk through the Bourda market in the morning the smiles and shouts of the vendors and the stands overflowing with the wealth of Guyana makes one smile and eager to shop.

The stands are vibrant with the red and green and yellow of fresh fruits and vegetables.  It is clear that Guyana's rich earth is providing an abundance of life sustaining food. 

When one steps out of such a market one expects to find the reflection of that wealth in the surrounding environment, but the shock of reality is like a solid brick wall.
