Market Day

We worked just for a few hours this morning --- more painting and more door installations.  Just before noon we walked through town to the market --- nothing like Acme or Super Fresh.  All kinds of wares spread out on  tables or laid on cloths on the ground.  We chose not to buy here.  Some of us went to the sandbar for snorkling, but without masks and breathing tubes it's difficult to see under water.  So they settled for  some treadding water and sun bathing.  Some took a stroll through the saline - the flat land next to the water where folks who have no other place to live make whatever shelter they can.  Even in these circumstances folks greet us with a smile, and the little children come near to get a closer look at us blancs.
