Due to the general strike in Guadeloupe, I only went to the local supermarket once. This beautiful flower was one of many on a tree in the car park! Within yards there were broken windows and burnt tarmac on the roads where cars had been set on fire, also piles of stones and rocks that had been thrown by the demonstrators. In the other direction the supermarket was open - but guarded by the armed gendarmes - military police sent from France to control the situation. (The striking party may well have arrived to close the shopping centre down - as they did another day.)
Its very sad that a country so rich in natural beauty and sunshine, should have such poverty that makes peopole have to demonstrate like this in order to be heard.
