This mural at the entrance of Oxcutzcab was really cool. It says, "Welcome to the orchard of the state." If you look carefully, you can see in the right-hand corner of the first picture, a guy pedaling a big tricycle taxi. We made use of this transportation service, but felt a little guilty about it since our big white US asses took up the whole bench and we could hear our drivers grunt from time to time. The vehicles really aren't made for our juno-esque figures. But it's fun and it helps the local people. One of the tricycle taxi drivers told us that he makes an average of $50 (pesos) per day (that's $5 US, folks). Higher than the minimum wage in Mexico, by a long-shot, but crappy all the same.
