Canoa-January 19th-22 2018

Just a few pictures again over the last few days.....
 On Friday, I met Luis in San Vicente again to tour the market and to buy camaron ( Shrimp ) grande.

 Local taxi service

 Preparing the camaron for Friday dinner.

 served on a bed of rice 
 Tom resting after dinner watching the waves while playing with his iphone......


 my walk on Sunday morning...scavengers looking for a turtle feast....


 one of the Gringo Condos on the beach....

 Saturday, I made a spagetti sauce and treated Tom and James to dinner...I am still eating left overs.....

 Sadly the beach in areas builds up with trash from the fishing boats throwing it overboard. 
 On Sunday I was a guide for Tom and James to show them the location of el mercado ( the market ) and the bank atm. 







Fresh produce from local farms...


 Sunday brunch camaron soap with veggies...but the shrimp were not peeled.....this was followed by a rice and shrimp main course with juice...3 meals $ 9.00  

 where we ate.


Today a new couple arrive from McCarthy Alaska, Julia and Chris.......this small town has no services, no hydro,water or sewer  the closest food store is 100k away yet the population of the area approximately 50 square miles has a population of 2500. It was founded at the turn of the century by Rockefeller and friends when one of the richest copper fields was discovered yielding 60% copper to the ton. It is mine out but the buildings are still there.
