Day 2 Part 4 Fishing village

Our driver took us out to get a boat and take a short tour of a fishing village not far from the city. It was fun to take a boat ride as well as learn about these people who live on floating houses. Here is a short video from the ride:



The trip took us to a restaurant/shop/educational center on fishing/gator farm. It was fun to learn about how they fish and how the village moves depending on the water level of the lake. It was crazy seeing everyone on a boat and knowing they live on water for most of the year. They even have a floating gym where they can go to play sports. When we arrived at the multipurpose shop there were little boys in wash basins with snakes around their neck. If I had paid them a dollar I could have draped the reptile around my shoulders and taken a picture...no thank you. I already have a picture with a much bigger snake around my shoulders thanks to my brother. I am also sure my brother-in-law would have LOVED getting his picture taken with a snake too ;)


It was tempting to buy but I had to hold myself back. Who doesn't want medicine with a large creature inside?


It was funny because the whole day we were solicited by sellers and Heather and I kept saying, "awe-te a-coon" (no thanks) or "mien howie" ( I have already). The boat ride was no different. They were sitting in boats waiting for our boat, quite persistent!
