Outings and holidays

Haitian market

Chicken available at the Haitian market

This guy really wanted me to take his picture. He has gizzards in his left hand.

This market can wear you out!

We see this man in our neighborhood all the time. His dogs are named Toby, Twinkie and Dino.

Cacao growing on the tree.

Cocoa beans straight out of the pod. They are delicious!

Our friend Reed Cornish. He works at the temple and loves to ride on his ripstick and his skates. His dad is our area president.

Ahhhh, the beach!

Resort life!

Recycler. We saw him stop and wash his hands and face in a puddle in the street.

Bread delivery car - bet it was much fuller earlier in the day.

Animal bladders. They fill them with air and hit women on the behind to celebrate Independence Day.

The big one is from a large bull.

We were on a bigger boat but this is another whale watching group. They were selling the green hats made out of plants as we got on the boats.

Whale watching. It was hard to get pictures.

Santiago Winter

This is one of our students. His family runs a little chicken restaurant - Pollo Fello. He invited us to come for lunch. He is so sweet!

Every January, the police check for who got new tags. If you don't have a tag your moto will be loaded onto a flatbed and hauled away. You will be on foot!

These were falling on the sidewalk. I think it is a sour orange. It was kind of mushy and very sour!

Cute little girl at church.

Papaya growing.

A very energetic positive street vendor in our neighborhood. He always has a smile! Looks like he is getting ready to sell avocados.

Couldn't believe it when I saw this heavy winter coat in the display case. The irony is that the mannequin is barefoot.

The boots to go with the coat. The first time I've ever seen anything like that here. I guess it is winter!

Picnic spot?

Watering the chia van.

How we ride in the rain.

Cute little guy in the classroom across the hall at church today.
