This morning's walk was enjoyable as usual.  Since Ken is fluent in Spanish, he loves to stop and talk with the people as they are working in their fields or constructing a new home, washing their clothes, or selling their goods, like this woman.  She's got a basket full of fresh chicken parts (including feet) that she's selling door to door to her neighbors.  Notice the scale she rigged up to weigh the chicken...one side has rocks in it and in the other side she puts the chicken in until the scale is balanced! Pretty ingenious, don't you think? 

 

And she also rigged up a little cart to carry and push the basket of chicken up and down the street

 

 

This street is made of pavers.  Notice the house on the end and the house on the right...

This is the house on the end up close...

 

 

...and the house on the right.

 



This home had no windows, just plywood or blocks, and no door.  They were cooking in the little aluminum room on the side.

 

And this is a house down another street with a ten foot high wall and steel door at the "gate" which just happened to be open today when we walked by so we could  take a photo of it..  Most houses in this neighborhood fall in between these two extremes.

 

Here is a lady buying something from her neighbor's tienda.
