Vendors are Active
This is a major holiday week in Mexico for both Christmas and New Years and the streets and beaches are very busy. All this activity causes anyone with an entrepreneurial spirit to take up their spot on the street or on the beach to ply their trade. In the picture above this hard working gentleman was stripping sugar cane, cutting it in 2 inch lengths, bagging it and from his table seen in the background, selling it. I had seen the kids riding around town on their bikes sucking/chewing on the stuff and decided to give it a try. I have chewed on a few plain 'ol sticks in my life time and the only thing I detected different today was a little sweeter taste perhaps. I wasn't too impressed and I don't think those who I passed out samples to in the park were either. Maybe I need to be more like a kid, to truly enjoy it. That could be arranged.
In the picture below this lady vendor is selling pop-overs filled with a pudding substance that is pretty good. I was just finishing lunch of a Hamburgesa Irene, pappa fritos, and a pacifico beer so I bought two to go so Kathleen could have a treat when I got back from my daily venture.
Looking North up the beach from the little restaurant shows that there is a little more activity on the beach because of the holiday.
