Staying for free here, so why not relax for a day. Manuel did not get any sleep last night, his cousin was biking and got hit by a drunk who ran the stop sign. No broken bones, but internal bleeding. They are still filling out paperwork before moving to Medida. Manuel is getting into the charcol biz here and i saw his first load.
Charcoal being made.
So im still in Oxkutzcab, but i have not posted much about it. It is the largest argriculture market in the Yucatan, and is known for the large amount of citrus, far more valuable than corn and squash, so it is very prosperous. The money that come in from the states is consiterable here too. It seems like everone has worked in the states here.
The church.
The Market. Manuel sets his cart up here. He makes great food, and Cali style burritos which are great, but he also cooks chinese food which i though was very strange, but knowbody else makes it.
My favorate breakfast. A thick fried tortilla, chicken, eggs and a black sauce called relleno negro sauce. It is a sauce made from chillis burned black, very good. You can see the bottom of the standard orange soda in the upper right hand corner.
Tommorow is a very long ride to Hopelchen in northern Campeche. It will be a few days before I post again. The next stop is the ruins of Santa Rosa, the largest Chenes site where work is going on now and they just uncovered a very interesting structure encased by a large palace.
