We spent several hours watching the family who lives on the boat with the green "roof" which was beached right next to our boat. They are snail fishermen and live on the boat. First they pulled up the snails and stones with nets and then they spend hours sorting. Eventually the pile of sorted snails was emptied into 50kg bags, sewn shut and hauled up the road to the top where they were picked. On board were 3 generations and everyone but the youngest worked together 'til the job was done.
Later another family arrived with 3 young children on board. The dad got on our boat and handed our garbage including plastic bottles, cardboard and wet garbage which they hauled away.
The remaining shots are just of families living along the river. This river will rise 30+ feet when the rainy season which will begin in just a few weeks.
