Hugo came home with a what appeared to be a shaving kit bag. “I bought you something. It’s for your camera because you’re always leaving it at home,” he said. So now I have a small bag to carry my camera and catch scenes I probably would have missed otherwise.

For nearly every store you enter, you have to leave your bags (backpacks, purses, shopping bags) in a locker at the front of the store, pocket the key with the large numbered fob and retrieve your items before leaving.

Notice all of the mopeds/scooters? They are the most popular mode of transport and the parking spots are great: on the sidewalks right in front of the stores!

A great accommodation here is the ability you have to hail a bus. Can't make it to the bus stop or have no clue where the stop is? Stay put long enough and hail yourself a bus!

I couldn't have planned the shot much better. The owners of the cart roam through town with a megaphone calling out what they have to sell. To see it parked next to this brand new car is interesting in many ways. It's surprising that a country with so many advances still has carts on the streets. It shows the stark class division between those who live in the surrounding "country" and those with one of the few local high paying jobs.






Wow! Looks like some of the places I have traveled to – like Bali (the carts are the same) You are having quite an adventure! We are proud of you!
Hi, Cali, I Carlos, it is great how you are picturing our place, everything is true, and it is so interesting to know you point of view… sadly our country has that difference, our politicians aren´t good enough, they are worried about how to get money not about improving our country…..
I can’t believe the dogs are in the hospital! But since I am an animal person, I am glad they have somewhere to go
