This is the sign in front of one of the shops right by Puente Cocodrile. We stopped there and looked at the stuff they had for sale. Nobody seemed to be concerned about the crocodiles next door!
This is what we saw from one side of the bridge, lots of crocodiles resting on a sand bar.
They appear to be asleep, maybe that is why the people in the shops at the side of the river didn't seem to be at all worried about their neighbors.
Another shot of the crocodiles on the sand bar, lots of them!
On the other side of the bridge, there was no sand bar, but about a half a dozen larger crocodiles floating just under the surface of the water, facing up stream. We decided they were fishing, lying in wait for some unsuspecting fish to come swimming upstream.
These bigger ones appeared to be about 12 to 15 feet long, very fearsome looking. It was quite a big river and the banks seemed to be steep. I still think those crocodiles could have marched right up there if they had wanted to, but thankfully it appears they stay down in the river.
Close to home we stopped at a couple of fruit stands and bought some great fruit.
We bought mangos, platanos, tiny bananas, a pineapple, and a watermelon.
Behind the fruit stand there was a smoke house with some meat cooking.
We bought some to eat on the way home. It was good, especially the ribs. The man chopped it up with a big knife and put it in a styrofoam container for us to take with us. So that and some fruit made a great dinner.
