Mexico: Public Works in Izamal – A Photo Essay
November 2, 2009
Thirty two years ago I stopped with a friend in Izamal, a town some 70 kilometers east of Merida, for a leisurely midday meal. As the only patrons in the modest restaurant, we were treated to a front door view of a road department project on the main square. The young woman in some of the photos was our waitress. Her bemused expression tells a story of its own.
In those days in the Yucatan, the inhabitants worked communally to improve their towns. I am not so sure of the situation in current times.
