This quaint mainly shrimping village about an hour south of Veracruz provides me the exact view of authentic Mexico that I have been searching for.
Cab driver for ride home turns out to be ex produce manager from Queens NY city. Met his love online and moved here.
His name is Fruitoila but says his friends call him Fruit.
He shows me what the last hurricane did, destroyed this road and the large university at the end of it.
He takes me all over town for free, as long as I don't mind picking up passengers so I end up being an assistant cabbie for 2 hours.
The church has a celebration going and the Zocalo is bustling with activity still at nearly 9PM.
The Alvarado Zocalo is equally beautiful at night.
