I’m still on my retro tour of the island of Sal in the Cape Verde islands… we are walking around supermarket hunting on the main streets of Santa Maria. I spied something hanging in a tree that appeared at first glance to be made of plastic….
I went closer to inspect it and the smell instantly gave things away…. definiately fishy….

…it’s a puffer fish that’s had a red balloon put into it, blown up and hung up to dry… (why? no clue? are these things tasty dried? it would be a rather smelly ornament I would think)

… here’s another one that we saw washed up on the beach (a short drive away, I’ll take you there later)…
