Rain, Rain, Rain.....
Hmmm, seems it has rained a lot here lately. Today at the port, it was like someone threw a bucket of water on us. Then we had some strong wind. Everyone was asking, "Are we going to have a hurricane?" No.
Whoever designed the booths for the venders here sure did it for the sunshine. It has metal corrugated roofs, (the use metal and cement here because of termites), and then put an overhang of dried grass. It keeps the sun off beautifully but when it rains, the water runs down the grooves in the roof and drips down a persons back right where they stand to look at the wares.
We had the Golden Princess today and people seemed to enjoy shopping. The women couldn't get over how beautiful the handmade jewelry was at the booth I help with.
Personally, I paint rocks from here with little scenes and make parrot magnets and checker and tic tac toe games and picture frames. The girl who also sells things, paints various items and local pottery.
So, if I charge two dollars for a nice sized parrot magnet, why do people always try to jew her down to a dollar? We have to make a living too.
Some things are cheaper here, some things are higher.
That's all for now, chau
