Shopping

These are pictures of some of our shopping experiences.  Most of the places are run down and could use some paint and better lighting.  After going in some of the grocery stores, you need to wash your hands.  Some places do try to clean a little.  The food prices are extremely high and from what we hear, have about doubled in the last year.  If you want something, you need to purchase it when you see it, because it might not be there again.  If you want it, you pay the price or go without. Sometimes you will see shoes for sale, they may have many pairs of shoes but they are all the same style and size.

Bananas are sold along the side of the road. They a displayed is big bunches. You tell the person which ones you want and how many. They will then cut them loose and hand them to you. The price seems to vary according to the whim of the salesperson and sometimes according to the color of your skin. We seem to be charged just a little more than the local people.
