I'm a big fan of coconut anything, but particularly coconut ice cream. I've found a lady in Marigot, who is there 6 days a week, that makes the best coconut ice cream I've ever had. Unfortunately for those of you who do not like coconut ice cream, that is the only thing that she makes. She just sits on the corner by the entrance to Marigot and makes this ice cream all day every day. As you can see, she has one of the old fashioned ice cream makers, and has to keep feeding it with ice and salt and turning the crank all day to keep it good. What she gets out of it though is definitely worth the effort! It's a little on the expensive side, but considering it's a lot of work (particularly for an older lady) to make and delicious, it's worth it. If you get a chance...stop by and get some!She's a kinda cute old lady, btw. She wasn't actually making ice cream when I took this picture, but when she saw what I was doing, she decided that she wanted to pose. Oh, and don't expect much conversation (unless you speak french) since she doesn't speak a word of English. :)

I always see that lady there, but never tried her ice cream. next time your are in that area, try out that thai restaurant thats there in the back, its called 'Chays', amazing food there, they have a stuffed chicken wing, i dunno how they do it, but they take the bone, and meat out of the chicken, cook the meat with tasty spices, stuff the meat back in, and fry the chicken wing, it is just amazing, i usually get that with a beef soup, or rice and curry, and im set. also they pizza's from the place next door are really good.
