    Willy, my home-stay 'brother', a local coconut vender. He collected coconuts from the nearby forest and chilled them in a fridge. He then cut the husk off them and prepared them for drinking. His friends would then come by bike and collect the coconuts to sell around town and make a small profit. As you can see from this photo his garage was the local 'hang-out' spot of the neighborhood.

Art was his thing, he was obsessed with painting and listening to eighties music, like David Bowie and ACDC.

You will see this exact photo being painted by someone later in this album. by: gypsy_trotter Views[661] Jorge and a neighbouring school girl who always came over after classes were peeling oranges in preparation for pressing. Later the juice was bottled and sold around town by a friend with a basket and ice-cooler on front of his bike. by: gypsy_trotter Views[556]
