Laundry Time :) This is actually a laundromat type place -- they do have one machine, sitting on the front step beside this setup. They do mending as well. But you often see people washing and hanging their laundry to dry on the sidewalk/ street.

Peppers! Lots and lots of peppers... sometimes spread on the street, in baskets... and when they have had some good sunshine, they get hung up to finish drying and be stored.

Traveling salesmen are always pedaling their wares!

Simple beauty everywhere!

Grandmas and Grandpas are almost always with the little children. I don't think they ever stay home, either.

A new perm! (the contraption looked pretty daunting to me!)

Outdoor pool tables are a big attraction!

And we ALWAYS see construction!

This ramshackle building is becoming just like the ones around it!

(Not very reassuring!)

They pick everything they need to out by hand with pickaxe and sledge... then tons of people work very hard to hand mix cement and lay handmade bricks.

I actually stopped one day to watch them pull the wet cement up to the second story -- quite a show!
