Have you ever smelled a fishing dock in a little village in Brazil where the local fisherman bring their day's catch
and lay it out on the dock to sell to the locals. It’s 100 F with a 90% humidity and the fish have been laying there in the sun since 5:30 AM and the hangers on are trying to wait until they can get their fish for the cheapest price at the end of the day. Anyone? Anyone? If you had you wouldn’t ever forget that 5 sense imagery overload. But she looks like smells pretty nice-Channel or something.

All year round, they play classic games at night and on the weekends.
