It's 6:30am, I'm not heating no rooster this morning, instead I'm hearing the sounds of exotic birds, well exotic for me, perhaps an annoyance to them. Was thinking I'd be hearing monkeys too, but no such luck.
One thing I've picked up on in México is these little buses called Colectivos. They have them in México City and I'm sure other places I've visited. But what's interesting is that they have them in Palenque as well and I need to take one to the Palenque ruins. The interesting part is that I have had a need to study to find out how they work.
Colectivos are these small buses with markings in their windows in marker, paint, colored tape or cardboard sign with the hand written destination. In México these buses are green and seem to have these predetermined stops. Here in Palenque they're white and if you look at one the wrong way they either scream out their window for your attention or do U-turns and will verify your need for their service.
Here in México everything is organized, not just the crimes. Taxis belong to an organization and so do the colectivos. Having said that, taking a colectivo should be a breeze.
Anyway, today looks to be a very nice day. Bought a fútbol baseball cap yesterday for $285. Just had a nice full breakfast and their wonderful café listening to salsa music from the restaurant next door.
