The Story of guy and gal!

Got up early walking a couple of blocks up from the beach to find the street filled with little kiosks of every kind of veggie and fruits.  The usually store keepers spilled their inventory out on to the street as well.   Towards the end of the street we found the usual bigger commercial- local market with fish, a mixture of hanging carcasses, home made sausage and fresh eggs and the nicest assortment of fresh veggies and fruit.

Pedro, from Puerta Amisatad has guided us in over the sand bar and has now gone off with our paperwork to check us into the country.   We will chat again soon...just wanting to let you know we have safely arrived.
