My office view


A panorama view from where I sit.


Lawn mowers


This is the very most common kind of lawn mower.


Old walls and new posters


This is a juxtaposition of a couple of common sights in the city: very old, crumbling walls, and bills announcing upcoming dances and hip-hop music events.


Door locks


This is the typical way to lock doors around the city: the doorknobs end up being useless after a while, either from rust or just parts that wear out, so the more robust solution is a big bar across the door or window with a removable lock on it.  This is also a more secure way to lock down shutters and doors for hurricanes.




Our natural climber



While moving boxes upstairs, Tolman had his own way of getting around.  This won't be a surprise to anyone who knows him.



Working with coconuts


This is how Conroy Hosier pulls down the coconuts from his tree.







And here's him cutting the top parts off a yellow, ripe one.









I didn't get a shot of him stabbing it with his machete... but that's how they pry it open and drink the milk.  Good stuff!


Elusive crabs


I only saw these kinds of crabs a few times... and these are the only videos I ever got.
