during the day

the town of Guriri has the slightly sad feeling of a seaside town out of season.

the tourists are gone now that the autumn weather has dropped to a chilly twenty eight degrees centigrade and carnival has been and gone.

the souvenir shops seem to open and close as I approach and pass by.

the yellow plastic chairs are almost all empty in the evening, reminiscent of the holocaust memorial in Krakow.  many more chairs remain stacked high, suggestive of a popular holiday destination in the summer months.

the locals however remain friendly and inviting.  curious of their out of season tourist (who is neither american nor german).
