This is where I spent my Tuesday. The bay is filled in with garbage. There are at least two explanations: (1) piling garbage here extends the land and keeps the water from encroaching upon the homes built along the bay; (2) there are very few places to dump garbage and this community houses infinitely more than its fair share. On this day, a group of men and boys was shovelling loads of garbage into a wheelbarrow to move it a farther away from the entrance to a school house. And of course, there are children playing everywhere.
