Here the women buy and sell, manage the income, and run the little tiendas (shops. ) They did not ask us to buy, but kept up a continual chattering with one another. Naked children ran after us, hailin...g us as " Americanos. ' ' We said ' ' Hello ! ' ' politely, wishing to help on the good work of making American citizens.
