Crab Hunting

Icey's

Gladys y Irma cut up fruits to make iceys.

Gerardo does the dishes in the cement sink. The center is filled with water about once a day. This is because sometimes the water is turned off without warning. There is no faucet water is scooped.

Cooking melon rind.

Peanut and milk are the light colored ones, I don't remember what the dark ones were. The redish orange ones were melon rind. They usually sell for one quetzal or about eight cents.

A fisherman taking the fish out of his net. You can just see one in his net and a few in a pile on the peer.

One fishy kissy.

Casting the net.

The barefoot man on the right is the fisherman and there's his catch.
Un pescado grande.
Fishermen

All of a sudden several boys ran out into the water with surf boards. As fast as they appeared they were gone.

Tamales

Let's make tamales.
Ripping the leaves into just-the-right-size pieces.

Gladys put the stems from the leaves in the bottom of teh pan and layered the tamales on top. She put some water in the bottom to steam them and the stems prevented the tamales on the bottom from sitting in the water. Cool.

She showed me how to fold the leaf around the filling.

Yum. Gladys is an excellent cook.
