"No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes..." The Lyrics to King of the Road come to mind when thinking of Tangier. On an island with a year-round population of about 500, it's a laid back and tranquil pace of life with a unique dialect.

 

Tangier Rappahannock Cruises whisked us from Buzzard Point Marina to Tangier Island late in the morning of May 14, 2016. We rented a golf cart to get around the island since there are no vehicles. I used a Canon GPS Receiver GP-E2 to track points along the route as best I could.

"If your 24 hours in Tangier happens to fall on a Tuesday, Thursday or Sunday – as you step out of St Andrews you will step into the weekly market known as the Souk Bara. This is a regular market where Jeblia women come into town from the country in traditional dress and hats that have remained unchanged over the years. The produce is home grown and seasonal, and despite the development of large supermarkets, remains an important part of Tangier daily life."

A trip to Tangier Island with Friends

Tangier structure.

We came across by accident a narrow cafe where musicians were playing. They stopped to make us a nice cup of mint tea before resuming their playing. Was a great session.

The dead of Tangier must be buried in concert tombs due to the high groundwater levels. (All due respect is given to the families named on this image).
