Yesterday I went back to the area where the fisherman of Porto Seguro tie up their boats and bring their catches to the fish plants and markets along the wharf. To renew her drivers licence Elci had to pass some written tests at a drivers school in the area. Elci told me I should walk around and take pictures of the historic homes in the area.
The slide show titled Fisherman's Wharf District begins with pictures of a boatyard, where a carpenter is shown working on a new wooden boat. There was also a finished fishing boat in the boatyard, which I took a picture of. Next to the boatyard there is a square where I took a picture of a fisherman repairing his nets. The sign in one of the pictures says that the square will be restored in 2007. Looks like they are a little behind schedule. Opposite the park there is house for sale, which I think has an art deco fascade. It could probably be picked up for $10,000 or so. Great location I think.
I think this area which parralels the riverfront will undergo a facelift in the near future. Many of the houses in the area have already been restored.
