FREE DAY IN VERACRUZ

The Mexican Government builds a large number of single family homes where all the houses look essentially alike. Below is a pretty row of houses built on the Veracruz waterfront for Social Security recipients. Each house has a different bright color.

This evening we had a chili dog at a tamale cookout.

Ted and Teri roast hot dogs on the open firepit. Notice the fellow roasting for a whole group with a rake. The fire was quite hot and therefore you had to be upwind, or else you might roast your face in addition to the hot dog.
After roasting the hot dog we come to the tables where we put the hot dog in a tortilla and added chili and other garnishes. It was delicious but a little messy.
