Street vendors abound in the old city. Liz snapped this man trying to sell his paintings with an expressionate pitch. It is a picture of the "Torre de Reloj"

Daily traditional dancing in the central square.

Laura explores the Old City

Newspapers or lightbulbs whatever you want is available on the street.

Here a local man, who speaks five languages, explains to Laura what "Comida del pobres" is, poor peoples food.

Different modes of transport...

Older people relaxing.

Fishermen in dugout canoes, use throw-nets in the harbour.

Every morning Jack went for his walk, and enjoyed a fruit juice with Liz and Laura. The vendors got quite used to this and enjoyed pouring one for the Perro.

We had a wonderful meal together with Dave and Judi Nofs, from the boat FIA, who we met in Trinidad in 1999, and they are still some of our best friends.

Upon leaving the next day, foreign military might was present.
