We see the occasional horse cart in the city. There are two-wheeled carts around town that are pulled by people, horses, donkeys or even motorcycles. The horses are small and a lot of times the carts are piled high. When we were in the interior the animals were mostly roaming free in the “suburbs”. There are thousands of motorcylces weaving in and out of traffic. Many of them deliver things across the city, or deliver food, etc. You can get an Uber ride on a motorcycle. Hmmm, maybe I will try that sometime.
And then there are the potholes. If it’s a bad one, people put something in them so that drivers can see them. We have seen dead trees, brooms, sticks and boxes, etc. A lot of the side streets are very bumpy. They are “paved” with parallel paving stones called paralelapípedo. It gives us a full body work out. Occasionally we find a pothole by accident...teeth jarring.




Can you see the star hovering over the wisemen? This is a common theme in Natal. It lights up at night.
