first is a lady selling greens, which are covered against the sun. The
next couple shots are of more of the ubiquitous roadside vendors. The
last is a roadside grill where a lady sells fish. We were on our way
back to Ann K's when she said she wanted to pull over at a place she
knew that sold excellent fish. There are little roadside grills like
this all over town, selling fish, chicken, plantains (the offspring of a
banana and a potato, excellent when grilled or fried), or beef kebabs
known as "brochettes." As long as it's freshly cooked it's safe for us
to eat, in contrast to anything fresh, which has to be taken home and
soaked in diluted bleach first. Meat here is usually cooked or at least
served with "pimante", or hot pepper, and often other spices as well,
and is absolutely delicious. We bought some fish and some chicken, with
a side of pimante, and had an excellent lunch.
