!Strange sights!!!

How would you like this in your front yard? It is a great yard decoration.

This darling old car  Peugeot or Renault(Warren was guessing)--I wish it was running.   

This looks like a shower on the front side of a home. I got a laugh out of this sight.  Whew... seems bad in the winter months!
This is a tree loaded with fruit but no leaves.  The fruit close up was withered and so dry I could hardly poke in it to see what it was. And,,,, it is grapefruit. My best guess is the tree was dying but gave it's best effort to sprout out fruit with seeds to renew itself.  It really looks like a dead tree.  This was strange.

This is one of my favorite pictures.  It is a great street waring sign.See the big hole in the road---it is filling with water from a broken water line...the water is just bubbling up slowly. It is quiet a hole ... so the crate with the plastic bag sign on a stick warns cars to drive around.  It is pretty clever and nice of that neighbor to warn others.!!!

What I see on a Sunday Walk-- I love the variety

 Here is a  Pizza place with lots of character---  but it looks out of place when you see what is across the street.  It is this big fancy bank.  It is all covered in mirrors and reflecting the clouds.
 This was so beautiful as we went by.. you could see the sky above and behind the building and looking at the windows you could see what was behind you.  I wish the picture could let you feel how neat it was.

A block away and across the street is this huge home. Up close and personal this is really a nice place. Right next door is a  Christian Jewish Church --It is  the blue building you can see to the left. It is found below.

You can see the Jewish symbols , but I wish you could read the sign... saying it was Jewish Christian.

Look What you can buy at the Central Market

Choose your pet here  --- or your dinner

 Chickens that came in all sizes--- this is just a sampling
 Little Ducklings


Tiny, tiny baby white mice
Fresh fish all cleaned out for the buyer!  I had to take this picture in a hurry it smelled so BAD.

We were in a sewing shop looking ribbon----- A surprise !

Can you find the monkey hiding?
Papa almost bumped into this parrot, he didn't see him hanging above him.
Papa found more and bigger ant piles at the Golf Course.

Our Ant-- and sights we see.

 
We found this big ant in our apartment.  It is the first we have seen inside and we are thinking it came in on our clothes,  It is not as big as at the golf course but about as big as the pen cap.  UGH!
Many side streets are still stones like this... They just cover it up with blacktop when they redo them. 
This looks like a great little pizza place about 6 blocks from us.

 This looks like a pretty nice place... and it probably is but....

Here is typical for the side or back of a building

This is also what you might see as round the corner .

We label this out and about when I take random pictures as we walk.

 
Look at the size of these leaves!
I couldn't find anything to compare them with so Papa's head will have to do.  Oh, Papa is getting tan by the way.
These trees look like other palms but they are so smooth...Feel almost slick.

Do you like this fence?


This is hard to see but in the background is a Coconut tree with several green nuts growing.  This is the first one I have seen.  In the front is an orange tree.  It is loaded with fruit but they are still greet.  I guess they will be ripe in March.

This old VW was parked in the back of our building  .  Wild to see! It actually is used as a delivery truck. This is OLD!.
