On the Road in Southern Mexico

 President Haws and I travel around the Mission a lot!  We travel to all corners of the Mission for Zone Conferences, Interviews with the Missionaries, Stake Conferences, special needs of the missionaries.  I love to snap pictures of the beautiful and varied things that we see. I thought you might like to see what is around the southeast end of Mexico, which includes all of the State of Tabasco, parts of the States of Chiapas, Campeche, Oaxaca and VeraCruz.

The trees are incredible, everywhere we go! We are definitely surrounded by jungle and green.  It is always green, year round.  I guess the heat and humidity can produce beautiful things.

Sites on the Road:
There are banana trees everywhere!  There are fields full of them, but also there are banana trees growing by the side of the road, around houses, in small groups and large fields or groves of them.  As a result, there are trucks full of green bananas and carts full of them for sale.

Fruit stand in front of Mission Office

Another fruit that is plentiful this time of year is the Rambutan.  We see trucks full of them on the road. But there is a stand on the street in front of the Mission Office that is there daily selling Rambutans and Pitaya(star fruit) 

A water tower painted like a fox!  It certainly lent
itself to someone's creativity.

Clown on a motorcycle- of course!

Street closed off for a party! with a food
cart close by, Elotes y Esquities- the best!
