So many avocados on sale--and so many people buying that these bins prove to be very efficient. Note the platanos--same thing, staples in the Dominican diet! These huge avocados were 24 pesos each--about 75 cents.

Barahona platanos

A typical scene in the Dominican Republic is the sale of local produce. Sometimes it is platanos that grow in super abundance or it may be pineapple or mangos in season.
Sometimes it is a chicken or skinned goat. It doesn't really matter because except for the product, the scene is the same. People sit and watch and wait.

Children here learn to make their own fun where ever they can find it! This rock wall at the side of the church can be surmounted only by a running leap up the five foot wall. From there, the chicos can laugh and watch all the folks leave church.
