Wandering around Barra, I started to get a feeling for some of the ongoing events. One of these was the flea market, which takes place every Thursday and where a large part of town, including the central square, is used for this purpose.

One of many photos of the public market. In these places, I find that all sorts of stuff is for sale, from what appear to be bootleg records and videos, to electronics and parts for your gas stove. Every once in awhile, something really odd turns up.

A different type of mouse/rat trap that relies on some sort of an adhesive to trap them, rather than your usual trap.

Additional instructions are on the back.

A different type of reading glasses; I believe they’re called, “clic frames,” (and no, that’s not a misspelling). When I first saw them, I started laughing and was teasing the guy about how I didn’t think his glasses were of much use to him.

That’s when he brought the middle pieces towards each other and I heard a snap, as they clicked together, using magnets. Apparently, you can order these frames online.

In the spirit for Valentine’s Day in downtown Barra de Navidad.

A great use for a hammock.

For all who enjoy having a poke at George Bush.
