Here is a picture of a very happy man. David was in heaven in this electronics store. The prices were all really much lower than in the States, and there were even new devices that aren't yet available in the States. This huge 32" Apple monitor was over $1,000 (US) less than it is back home.
The IPad 2 with all the bells and whistles here is $500 (US). Pretty amazing deal, huh??? 7/8/2012
Ummmmm...........seriously ladies? Does this rubber/silicone glue-on contraption look comfortable in any way, shape or form? And what's up with that crazy looking cleavage on the girl in the right side of the picture? Of course this question doesn't apply to men, since comfort isn't an issue for them, but really???? OUCH!!!!!!!! BTW, that is $50 US !!!!! You can get a lot better than that at Victoria's Secret for the same price or less !!! And this picture was taken from the front window of a little convenience store. 7/8/2012
Recycling lady on a 4 wheel wagon-like bicycle. Again, this is all cardboard, cans, bottles, newspapers, etc. Can you imagine how heavy this load was for her to be pedaling along with? And she was quite elderly, too. 7/8/2012
Lovely part of town, about a 3 mile walk from our hotel. 7/8/2012
Happy, super sweaty, beautiful Olivia. 7/7/2012
Phone booths like this are all over the place. They are also wi-fi hot spots. 7/8/2012
Back to questionable food items........ The thing on the left was a gelatinous hard mass, about the size of a large pizza and about 4" thick. It looked like Cisco formed into that shape with something brown sprinkled in it. GAG !!!! The hot pot on the left was a kettle full of some kind of boiling stew or soup. What was in it is anyone's guess, and it smelled really and truly BAD !!! 7/8/2012

ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how different places have SUCH different food items! We ran into that over and over in the Dominican Republic! Some were delicious...and others...not so much ;)
