Sao Tome and Principe

A local lady displaying for us the fish after they have been cooked. They were very good.

This lady was kind enough to tell us about the village and how important the fishing is to them for their livelihoods.

A group talking and having fun in the afternoon.  Notice our ship anchored off shore in the distance.

More kids milling around checking out the tourists that just happen to stop in their small village, very close into Sao Tome. .

We stopped back in town at the Our Lady of Conception Church.  A group from the Congo performing a  Congolese dance for us.

The beginning of the dance.

Everyone is happy and in a good mood.
