Strawberry Fields Forever in Michoacan

Robert:

This old pickup truck drives down the street in front of the office (Lazaro Cardenas) about twice a week this time of year. The back of the truck is loaded with fresh strawberrys from the state of Michoacan, south of here.





He charges 25 pesos (about $1.98 USD) for a one kilo bag. (A kilo is 2.2 lbs.) I ran out into the street just in time yesterday. He had already passed the office, but in his rear view mirror he noticed me standing in the street waving my arms. So he backed up and we did the berry deal.
