A Banana Republic

Bananas fresh off the boat going to Market.

I don't think I've ever seen so many bananas before. It seemed like there where bananas everywhere in the town of  Santarem, Para, in Brazil. A local gentleman tried to explain to me where they import the bananas from but I didn't quite understand him. All I understood is that bananas are not native to this part of Brazil, but very popular. They arrive by boat every morning.
