I thought last Sunday that the rainy season was upon us, but it hasn't rained for a week.  Still having sunny weather with a little overcast in the afternoons.  So I took some more pictures in our neighborhood.  The first one is the downtown part of the town of Belen from the hill kind of behind our house.  You can see the towers of the cathedral.  The next one is also looking toward Belen.  The "Lagar" you see is the closest hardware store.  Then there are a couple of shots of a hybiscus bush.  We have one of these in our yard in Lindon but of course the bush is about a foot high. This one and it's blossoms are extra large.  The next one is of a tree with some bumpy green fruit, I don't know what it is. Then a pretty green house with a cute fence.  All the houses here are fenced, usually with a lot of wrought iron.  We have decided that the people who sell wrought iron here are the ones who have gotten rich.  Then a want ad for a girl to work in the bar.  The next one is an old Buick with a California license plate.  When I lived in California so many years ago, I had a blue license plate like this one on my car.  The gate that says "Gocha"leads into a coffee plantation.  I liked the wooden fence with the purple flowers and the sidewalk with irregular broken tiles. The Coca Cola sign is over a grocery store where we have done some shopping because it is close and we can walk there.  It is the only place where we have found the particular mango drink mix Laurie likes.  I had to learn what the next sign meant even though I don't do much driving, No left turn!  Another fence with pretty purple flowers and a mango tree where the fruit was just falling on the ground.
