A quiet town on the banks of the Marowijne river, Galibi is the starting point for seeing turtles laying their eggs, but also offers a good opportunity to see local village life among the Indians.
We arrived in the middle of a football match between teams representing the two parts of the village. More than just a match, it was a social gathering; entire families were sitting under trees, having something to eat, while under another tree music was being played for entertainment while the players were running for the ball over the sand field. Even when heavy showers hit the field, play was not suspended. The end of the match was a good reason for a party. The next day, the field had turned into the central square of Galibi, singing coming from the school on the other side of the field.
