We spent a couple of days in Georgetown and enjoyed it. Here are some visual impressions.

Architecture

The Red House – So called because of the distintive red-wallaba shingles that protect the imported (pitch-pine) softwood beneath.
Demerara shutters. They used to put chunks of ice in the wooden box at the bottom which cooled the hot air coming into the house
