 |
| bike, bananas and pepsi.. ahhh a good day! |
coxen hole is one of our main towns on the island. it is where alot of the local people shop. they have many small pulperia (shops like corner stores back home), hardware stores, banks, clothing stores, the market, the post office, administrative buildings, fish markets.
it is a hub of activity. i love going into coxen hole. the traffic is always busy and chaotic. horns are beeping. dogs are lazily sleeping in the middle of the sidewalk, kids are either coming or going to school all dressed up in uniform. ladies carry umbrellas.. either for the rain or for the sun. people hang around outside of buildings talking together. local ladies make food and sell it: BBQ chicken, potato salad, cole slaw, refried beans and tortillas for 100 Limpera (which is 5 dollars) oh and taxis are everywhere!!
we know alot of people on the island now so coxen hole is a time to visit with people. no matter where you are you stop and talk for a bit, or even for a long time if need be. we are blessed to have 'time' here.. time to visit, time to listen, time to pray, time to care.. time to be.
