Whats with the little car with the loudspeaker driving through town?
Is there a revolution going on? The little car with the loud, loudspeaker on its roof is part of the town. He’s paid a fee to drive around with town news and advertising from local businesses. We find him very hard to understand. At first we blamed our poor Spanish, then we realized our Mexican friends couldn’t understand him either. Lately we notice his speakers have been getting larger, so he’s louder, but just as hard to understand. Other loudspeaker vehicles drive through town too. Some are making announcements, and some are selling fresh produce, shrimp, or even mattresses. Other trucks play a little jingle (usually the gas guy) or music (usually the bakery guy). If you see a guy walking around town playing a shrill flute…get your knives out…he will sharpen them. If you see one of us walking around shouting “libros, libros…” you know it’s a quiet day at the bookstore. Where’s the Post Office? I love answering this one. There isn’t one. Next! Okay, we don’t have a post office
