Food prices have made our jaws drop here. We can easily get a good lunch for two to three US Dollars. Spending about 5 US Dollars gets me a whole bag of tropical fruits (Big Soursop, Papaya, and Bananas) and vegetables (Green Beans and Green Peppers). A bottle of beer cost about 65 cents. John paid about $3 to fix his kitesurf harness (re-enforcing and resewing) and less than two dollars for his Merrill hiking shoe repair (gluing and resewing by hand). I got a new hair cut for $7.
