Common Sights

"Tuk Tuks" - they are 3 wheeled taxis. There are probably more of them then there are cars. They are everywhere.

It is very common to see families with little kids, even infants riding motorcyles. It is very rare to see them wearing helmets.

Little stands like this are everywhere in the afternoon and evening. This one is selling tostadas and juice.

Everybody has clothes hanging up to dry. Dryers are rare because it costs a lot for electricity here.

Launcha-these are water taxis. We have ridden them several times to get to different parts of the lake. The kids love riding them.

Tamales- They are wrapped and then cooked in these huge banana leaves. There are several different dishes that they prepare and cook like this. Craig and I haven't been able to figure out the difference between them though. They walk the streets with 5 gallon buckets full of these to sell to people.

Fried Plantains-many people eat these every day. They are very sweet.

A boy and his dad out fishing in their boat.

Bike Cart- this one is selling chips and other snacks

Bike Cart - this one is selling something similar to snow cones
