Just like the snow cone vendors that come through the neighborhoods on the weekends, so too do ice cream trucks, traversing the avenues and roadways of Barbados. The signature tune emanating from the loud speaker in the van heralds the arrival of the ice cream van. It is a slice of life in the Caribbean that is truly a sweet delight.
We live in a hot, tropical climate and it is a relief and a pleasure to have snow cone, crush ice, ice cream, popsicle and fresh, fruit juice-vendors traversing the road ways and avenues plying their trade. On Saturday afternoons I used to look forward to Mr. Jones the snow cone vendor (now retired) that would sound his horn heralding his entrance into the neighbourhood where I live. Like I kid, I'd excitedly run outside to greet him and get my cool ice treat.
