This wide pedestrian street is anything but pedestrian. It’s an array of activity day and night. It’s best to ignore the “Find the hidden ball” it’s usually played on makeshift tables with a nibble fingered trickster. It appears at first to be a game of chance and you may win a few but pretty soon you start to lose and you will walk away with a much thinner wallet or none at all. There are usually about three or four other people gathered around acting like part of the crowd but they are all working together. We read all about these things before we left and we actually saw a team of them at work. They must have unfortunately come across a local because she was on to them. They were yelling some words and she took their picture. Michael said the guy who was the trickster was really mad at the girl for calling him on his little game and taking a picture. It was quite the scene. Needless to say we watched at a distance. It was funny to see the four other people that were all watching pretending to be bystanders all walk away together with the main guy! You have to watch out for the gypsies too! While Michael was on his mission he said they were terrible. Their whole life style is thieves and con artists. When he was on his mission they had gypsies who lived a couple blocks away. They lived in a shack. The missionaries would throw rocks at them. That’s funny but sad at the same time. He said because of the government (dictatorship) and “Franco” they didn’t wear name tags back then. Good thing! Fine example they would have been. Ha.
