my first visit to this island destination

my day starts off with a meal of soup

in a modern cafe with pictures of days past

one of the numerous hotels that cater to visitors to this island

window shopping along the main road

yet another large hotel on this island

expressions of modern city life has crept into historic sections of this city center - graffiti of questionable aesthetic content

a tray of snack food being prepared for sale along the roadside

a merchant handing out free samples of candies and cured meats in front of his store in a well-travelled alleyway
