Well I'm sure you've have been wondering what a VW bus looks like with some of it's tin peeled off. Here is a flatbed that is all exposed framework from the cab back.

This is a simple little local house with an interesting staircase:

 

Here again is that new beach club called Sunset. The photo was taken form the sidewalk bar I showed you earlier with the suspended loft.

Cruise ship passengers are delivered here in groups to snorkel the inner reef.
The bar has a specialty blender drink using pineapple juice, a banana, some ice and this secret ingredient:

As I mentioned, the streets paralleling the sea front are numbered in multiples of 5. Here is the traffic circle at 65th and Juarez, the main E/W street. Actually, if you follow Juarez East it crosses the Island.

Over half of the taxi drivers use a seat cushion that is very similar to one RubberMaid offered years ago. The RubberMaid is no longer available in the 'States' and the one I've been nursing along for years finally died of UV exposure last summer. I've asked maybe a half dozen taxi drivers where they got their cushion and they all gave me different cock in bull stories. Finally one guy sent me to a huge place on 65th that sells car parts and accessories, and I got my cushion ($6.50 usd).

On the way to the car parts store I passed this 'family tree'. It's actually a telephone pole and if you look closely you'll see that the baby feet are made using the side of a clenched fist. Good humor.

Note the hollow in the center of the hand print, above. When different venders cruise through the neighborhoods they have sounds that they announce themselves with. The guys selling pastry off a tricyclo clap their hands with the fingers held back so just he hollow palms meet with a 'pop' sound like a kid's pop gun that blows out a cork. I've tried and tried and I can't make the sound. I just don't have that hollow in the palm of my hand. The water guys play the recorded theme to Butch Casidy (I think)    =)

I spotted a great early 60's Plymouth Valiant Barracuda on the GM used car lot on 65th. It was 'fine' but way short of the $20 G's (usd) they were asking. I had a red one in the 70's and this one was originally red too. In red the back part looked fat, this blue really slimmed it down.

Of course I came across another motorbike trailer; and this one uses a 'tie rod end' as a hitch point.

This Dune Buggy is sleek enough to be a 'Kit Car'.

This VW Kit Car is sleek enough enough to be a production car. It's made of 'thermoplastic' panels.
