Walking around Tuxtepec Part 2





Here we have a house with wood slats on the walls of the upper part - an unusual architectural feature for Tuxtepec. But the reason for the picture is actually, if you look carefully, two animal heads mounted on the walls. I think they might be deer. Or gazelles. Or something. They are real, anyway. And mounted on an exterior wall like that, on an upper floor, they are just really bizarre.
The next picture is the pedestrian bridge. We walked across it once and it was totally fun. But the city condemned it - I think the day after we walked across it. And they roped it off and took up the boards. Some helpful soul has apparently replaced some of the slats so that the more daring, or lazier, pedestrians, can still use it - if you're willing to risk it. I wasn't.
The beautiful green wall in the next picture just speaks for itself.
And the last one should read, se recibe escombros. Whoever receives the scrap-metal here needs a lesson in remedial spelling. :)

Oops. My description doesn't match the order of the pictures. And I don't know how to fix that without moving a lot of shit. So I'm leaving it. You can figure it out.
