Friday Midday: Town of Acanceh
↓
Woman in a traditional dress.
A long petticoat, almost always lace, hangs several inches below the dress's hemline.
Note that these cargo tricycles are everywhere.
↓
↓
Another traditional dress, we usually them with saw a shawl like this.

↓
Loaded truck and speed bump sign.
When the truck had passed, we saw this next scene behind it...

↓
Pig’s head and other unknown pieces of meat for sale at this home's front gate.

Wedding photo in a store. Very old looking, and very common site.
The man depicted in the photo was right there too.

↓
Wooden framed cart being pushed by a motorcycle.
(Like the tricycles we've been seeing, but heavier duty.)
↓
↓
Building bleachers for the coming religious festival.
-- Cutting the wood plank with a hooked machete-looking thingy.
↓
↓
Across this empty city block to more bleachers under construction.
↓
↓
Multi-level bleachers with shade roofs; microwave and cell tower.
↓
↓
And directly across the street – their local pyramid.
We would have stopped of course, but we were too hungry.

↓
Street scene with another tricycle and another shawled woman.

↓
Our translator who got us dinner.
We thought she worked there, but she was just a
friendly customer who got to practice her English on us.
↓
↓
Two of our cooks in this little restaurant.
The food was great too!
↓
↓
Third friendly cook at this establishment.

↓
Church towering over the big empty lot.
It must be their town square, but usually these have been park-like.
↓
↓
The front view of another dressed up woman.
I finally got brave and asked for permission to snap a picture.
↓
↓
A parasol. Not an uncommon site. Oh, there's another trike.
↓
↓
Elevated water barrels at the front of every house.
I expect there is a truck that comes around to fill them.
↓
↓
Bus stop where we got on the freeway at Ticopo.
↓
↓
Map showing entire top half of the Yucatan peninsula.
This was from Kristine at The Flycatcher Inn. She marked our route for us.

Close up of where we are now – the bus stop at Ticopo.

Chichen Itza this afternoon...
