Computers & pelicans

The library computer crashed this morning.  IT systems took it and when it came back all the files and bookmarks left for me by the previous librarian were gone.  Starting from scratch on my own is going to be a pain.  :-)  

This evening I walked into town and saw the fishermen cutting up their catch.   While the fisherman were cutting up the fish, their families busy creating an impromptu restaurant.  They dredge the smaller fish in flour then fry them whole.  They also cut plantains into chunks and fry them.  When the plantains come out of the oil they get squashed into patties with a wooden potato masher while they are still warm and soft.  They are served with the fish right there on the dock.   The sea lions and pelicans were hanging around hoping to steal some scraps and the tourists were hanging around trying to get a serving of the fish and plantains.   They are all fun to watch.
