Monday Market and First workday


We started today (Monday) at the morning street market.  It was as full of vendors as normal and crowded with buyers at 7:30 am.  It seemed like there were more stands, especially meat sellers.  This year for the first that I saw a portable barbershop on the street.  In fact there two of them where guys were getting haircuts as we walked by.  There were a couple of stands selling squash blossoms with their vegetables.  You can buy anything you could get at Walmart at this street sale, but fresher than anything you could buy there.  The meat and fish looked especially clean and fresh.  Hannah and Lamin had pork tamales for breakfast.  The vendor had a pot full of them wrapped in banana leaves.  

Our work site is in Salvatierra, where we've worked before.  One of the neighbors who was helping with the work remembered serving fish tacos to us several years ago.  The family isn't allowed to cook our lunches this year due to COVID so we bought fish tacos from a nearby taco truck.  They were great.  Below are before and after pictures of our work site.  We hope to pour concrete into the footer on Wednesday.
