A Pineapple of a Day

Hola:  Got up early this am; walked the boardwalk by the hotel in Veracruz, took some photos and then hit the road for Villahermosa, the capital city of Tabasco MX..   

                                     The Veracruz version of the Winnipeg Polar Bears 

We traveled  through the jungle and the largest pineapple producing area in Mexico.

. 

 MMMMM  freshly made cold jugos de pina (pineapple juice) for only 20 pesos.... Just what we needed for the rest of our trip. The locals set up their stands under each overpass on the autopista ( Toll highway)...

A quiet day today.. no banditos or policia ...just very friendly hotel staff, vendors and military soldiers at the various check-stops curious about where we were from and where we were going.  Most did not speak English but when we said Canada they smiled, repeated and waved us on. 


I know we will be back in the area as tourists when we speak more Spanish...travelling in a car, when we have the time to stop more often especially at the small towns and cities along the way.  There is so much to see and learn about. 


Tomorrow we head for home...  10 hours and we will be in Chuburna at the beach house. ... More blogging from there .


Buenos noches .... ( Good night)
