The shops have an excellant selection of evil eyes! Also the Sponge Fishing museum is worth a visit. It's filled with old, sketchy diaramas. Some of the displays look like they were installed 50 years ago and never touched by human hands again. However, rats have touched the figures--they've eaten some of them, in fact! One of the mannequins had a divers suit that was pock marked with rat-sized holes and there were piles of dust and feces on the floor, directly below the holes. Then there's the fascinating free movie called 'modern sponge fishing' or something like that. Except the divers are wearing giant metal and glass helmets and rely on air from a compressor on the row boats above...yeah, really modern! [email protected] http://www.tikigardens.com
