noises, noises...

it is kind of fun "to see" and hear all the noises around here....except, when you have a baby that haven't hear such noises before, or even a little child like emily....what's that mommy??!!!!

first we have "el panadero", it means bread maker, but he actually just deliver fresh bread to homes...warm yummy bread of many kinds, like french, whole grain, snail, yolk, horn, etc, to name few, the girls love them!

he starts very early in the morning, first at 5:00 am and 5:30 am (he goes around just one time), then from 6:00 to 7:00 am, he goes around many times playing his bugle...can you see it under his hand?...he also goes around 6:00 pm (tea time).

I ask him for a picture, i told him i will send it to my friend who has never seen a panadero before (he wanted to see how he look in the picture and he blush)... then he said: is she married?....i say yes!!!!.....then another customer came and i went home, almost running....

then comes the ones who sell fruit, strawberries, bananas, pineapples, mangoes, papayas..umhhhh i am getting hungry..... it is a little bit more expensive, so most people prefer to go to the market that is just 2 blocks from my parents house (there are quite few markets like this around-kind of farmers market)….can you see his microphone and amplifier so everybody can here them?

Then we have the mototaxi, this are motorcycles adapted to carry 3 people sitting at back, they do taxi up to around 10-15 blocks, without crossing main streets….people use them to bring their children to school, to go to the farmers market and bring their shop bags, or just to don’t walk 3-4 blocks anywhere….

Then comes the people who sell ice cream!, Emily was very happy to discover this!, this heladeros, like the panadero, goes around the streets with the bugle, and plays a special song that just means: I have icecream!
From 1 to 3 pm we have “la movilidad” this are guys with their vans that bring back the kids from school, so they honk for the parent to get their children…and they are very persistent…
While I was waiting for the panadero I came across with the recyclers (they were checking the garbage) and the guy who bring the gas tank to your home (on his bike-we use this gas just for the kitchen)….they don’t make any noise though…

At around 7 pm comes the garbage trunk and they also honk a lot, they come everyday…and finally from midnight we have “security guy” he transit the streets of our neighborhood watching for ladrones (thief-they can get to your house usually at night and steal anything), and this watchmen has a whistle and use it every hour just to remain us “he is around”. This ladrones can steal even your laundry, even if it is still wet…..we were robe twice when I was growing up, once they took all my wet clothes and the next time they took the gas cylinder and the blender….that is why houses look like this now...my parent's house is the one in the middle, i will show you how it look 35 years ago when they first buy it!
