Fresh asparagus, $.50 a bunch.

The vendor getting Cactus ready to sell. It is diced up and cooked with scrambled eggs and used in omelets.

Getting a little sugar.

Getting tomato's and bananas.

Peppers, Kama, carrots, and onions.

This is the vegetable market. It is open on Wednesday only.




The photos below are from a previous trip I made with the park guide. He takes new arrivals on a walking tour of town and explains where the stores are and which one has what. I hadn't been on it in several years so went along.

This is the City hall, Police station and Court House. It is located on one of the three paved streets in town.

This restaurant used to be one of the best in town but now the new owner has ruined it. We eat there many times last year.

This is a shark that got caught in their shrimp net. The sharks do a lot of damage to the nets and it takes a day or two to repair them.

This is one of the trailers they use to pull the boats.

These two photos are of a small part of the El Golfo fleet. There are about four hundred boats all together this is one of the pull outs
