The Market

Most of the stuff in the market is clothing that comes over from the United States. They unload big bags of used clothing from the ships, drag them to the market, and then unload them on the tables. Today my roommate and I decided to go see what was available. Boy, did I find some treasures! I didn't buy any of them, but I did run back home for my camera so you can enjoy them with me :-)

Some expressions of excellence are more life-threatening than others...

I was tempted to buy this for a number of people I know.
