The Customs building and on the other side of the
street are stores on the first floor of the buidings and apartments
above. Notice the blue window coverings - sliding shutters to keep the
intense summer heat out. This time of the year it is a very nice 65
degrees for the low and 75 degrees in the afternoon.

The ship in the foreground has trouble telling people
whgich end is forward or aft. It pulled into the dock and an hour later
it departed. Right straight out of the harbor. Both ends look the same,
each has the loading ramp for vehicle loading.
