Plausibly a pupusa or something analogous.

6 years agoYou got that right! Mammalian/reptilian/avian creature! Mostly avian. Defies any attempt to identify!
6 years agoYes, there may be a few garbage free spots, but the general rule is otherwise. From our culture the garbage is despicable, but if you don't mind looking at it, maybe strewing it by the roadside is not worse than piling it in a landfill. Recycling probably is better, but of course the energy input to recycle is not zero.
Best would be to not use plastic bottles or bags. Not using bags is easy, because the people here have lots of handcrafted and durable bags. But I know on Joni's island when the U.N. put in "safe" piped water the people did not trust it and continued buying bottled water. You need not only the infrastructure but trustworthy people to operate it.
Nice to see sections of road garbage free.

6 years agoYikes, such a different experience. As you can see from the photos, both visitors and vendors swarm all over the site, and the cenote is not accessible for jumping in to. If you return to Chichén Itzá it will have to be with all new objectives, unfortunately.
p.s. How did you get those accents so nicely into your message?
OK, we're on it!
6 years agoWow I really stepped into the middle of a big controversy. I'm with the Spanish. The stuff we got really was insipid, except that any cheese seems great to us here.
For other readers the crux of the matter:
There is Spanish and Mexican manchego cheese. "One is a revered sheep’s milk cheese, as Spanish as acorn-fed pigs, a famously insane knight errant or the napkin-strewn floor of a tapas bar.
The other is a mild cow’s milk cheese, sometimes bulked out with vegetable oil, that is sold cheaply in Mexican supermarkets and stuffed into quesadillas."
No but it should help with learning the month names and days of the week. We like Miercoles, when the stamps come to the post office!
6 years agoWOW! Was it really that cold out?
No gloves?
Sorry guys-not sure what part of the day you found so great. Although it was interesting and fun, it was also waaay too long for us.
6 years agoLooks like a great day, Grampies! This is the first one that looked like a place that could really work for us. Keep it up -you might push it onto our list yet.
6 years agoRegarding Manchego cheese, you might find this article from today's Guardian interesting:

Remember the bakery I took you to a few times in Houston? Seems like a similar kind of sweet/breadlike selection...
