The Neighborhood Fruit Man, Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

This is one of the many things that makes Mexico such a pleasure to experience.  Today, we were attracted outside our house by a loud voice coming from a pick-up-truck-mounted-loudspeaker blaring out in rapid Spanish the name of the fresh fruits he carried for sale: "naranja, piña, papaya, mango..." and others I couldn't quite understand in his rapid-fire speech. He was driving along slowly and his two young sons were in the covered back with boxes of fruit for sale.

We bought some avocados and mangos for about 50 cents each and a whole pineapple for about $2.00.  They were fresh, ripe, delicious, and available right outside our door.  I don't know when he comes around again but I hope it's soon.
