Market Makeover

These past few months the main market here has been under construction.  The cobblestone roads were removed and blacktop put in its place.  Water pipes were also changed.


Here are some photos showing what it was like to go shopping while the construction was underway.






The construction was to be finished before the rainy season began, but things got behind schedule and we had to trudge through muddy streets while the work advanced.

High piles of dirt, gravel, tractors and fresh blacktop were daily encounters until the work was completed.

Even though the work took longer than expected, it is now finished and we do not have to climb over any more piles of dirt or gravel in order to shop !
