    Walking on the street around here today... found these few food vendors...
    First is a coco water vendor and sugar cane juice... they also sold a few salgados but I didn't take a picture...

    The second sells cocada.. a sweet snack or traditional coconut candy made with coco and sugar and many other things cause recipes change and there are many kinds of cocadas...

    There's the brown one, the white one and other ones. I don't eat cocadas because they have sugar and I don't eat white sugar...

    The third is a peanut candy vendor...

    Walking on seashore this afternoon.. all those stands in front of the beach offer a variety of meals, snacks, appetizers, drinks, etc, etc... it's a seat down thing with tables and chairs.. and most also have people playing instruments and singing all afternoon and night... More and more tourists keep coming...

    Oh yea. Rolled in at 8:45, untarped and had 10 pallets off and rollin by 9:30. 2nd drop was...not a quick. Only homo depot I've been to that unloads trucks on the side of the building and takes the stuff in through the front. All the way to the back. Where I was originally parked, in front of the big orange roll up door.

    @Rocks, you wanna run some easy flatbed when you get back to the states? I bet I can get you in a truck with my co. We're based out of Dallas and run Tx regional.

    Who's tracking their fuel mileage? I just fueled up and used 100 gallons of fuel. And ran 709mi on it. That was with only 13mi of DH.

    This is the 4th tank Ive gotten 7mpg. I thought it was a fluke at 1st. But Ive kept my idling to a bare minum. Like no more than 10-20min at a time. No idling overnight.

    Not bad for an open deck.
