Carnaval draws to a close in Puerto Limón

A salesman wears a tower of hats in downtown Puerto Limón. The Carnavales de Limón drew to a close on Sunday, but street vendors continued to sell every kind of clothing, electronics, and decoration in the busy bazaar on Monday morning. Notable wares included hundreds of hand-made wooden chairs imported from Masaya, Nicaragua. Events included free concerts and a Saturday morning parade. Thick with tents and kiosks that spanned several blocks, the open-air market dominated the city’s landscape for nine straight days. (Robert Isenberg/The Tico Times)
