On the waterfront

Linda dropped us at the fish market yesterday morning. Hundreds of fishermen sell their catch every day on the beach. Boats loaded with fish were still pulling up when we arrived.

The big fish like tuna and swordfish were sold off wheelbarrows and trucks right on the sand. Smaller fish, shrimp, squid, and shellfish were sold in a shelter. There was not an ice cube in sight and the equatorial sun was rising so everyone was moving quickly to sell their catch.
