With her dad dont personally. As a Family Business but in ways one. At the height of it got to your two thousand we had thirteen people on payroll we had ten. In locations in the city and i was much more of a manager at that time than a vendor because i was having to have babies and two little girls and so i was busy doing that stuff so i could be a manager as soon as the girls were about five six years old i came right back and started jumped in to be a vendor again and kind of size down at that point because i really i like a little less hustle and bustle i like having the one card now. Today there you have just one food caught in the heart of portland where whopping burritos right or shine. People came through the rain. The golden good looking thing.

Mike and his mechanic saw sanchia experts they built food trucks customers need to fork out plenty pint to fifty thousand dollars for a trailer kitchen thats made to measure every time two to three months but they can also manage to weeks because ultimately everything is possible. So far i know of two trailers that ive sold that didnt quite make it just two. Which makes me feel that what i do is the right place this is where people grow and they make money and theyre successful theyre happy. It sounds like an easy formula and it sure worked from out his food trucks are a runaway success. But that gives a part because you know we wish the best for our but if it cant be you cant beat it might do it you know i now have it much so. There. Is good.

Down here in mexico the stories they tell sound like dreams every year and early november a miracle happens in the mountains outside mexico city millions of monarch butterflies arrive and several penned all like thoughts on the wind. Its the end of an eight month migration to wide areas of north america and back a journey that takes the butterflies for successive generations to complete. Come spring the monarchs will breed before flying north to lay eggs and then die it is not known how their offspring find their way back to mexico. But people on the streets of the capital have their own explanation one thats been passed down through the generations. Of getting killed little bundle yet they love them but we believe that when someone dies and is buried they rise again as a butterfly. And no other day of the day and allah day when we see a butterfly we say to each other look there is grandpa or thats our auntie over there. We see our lost loved ones again in the butterflies. It makes us feel good it was that it was nice isnt it better to see this yes it was the look. Mexico is preparing to celebrate the sad and yet jovial holiday dia de los muertos in two days time. Victor a stout man with a big heart has his hands full. The entire family pitches in and a neighbor makes the tortillas. Victor says with some pride that this talk of those are the best in mexico city. On top of it and the long line of his stall would appear to endorse that claim. You give it what do you recommend victor try the competition no tacos there are specialty because you have to get. Mexicans like a hearty taco. And make packet with a sausage. Cheese from one haka that melts into a cream. And then theres more me. Its all topped with fresh no polyps the cat just fruit and plenty of sumatra. And which salsa do you recommend to go for the red one its the spiciest. I like it a bit spicy but you mexicans of course can handle a lot more right. Than those a bit of the sun that we give salt to to our kids so they get used to the spicy news from an early age for us there is no day without sauce and. Even if the spiciness gives us an upset stomach look we mexicans are my daughters we simply keep on eating. A lot of it is a visit. That. Theres no elegant way to eat a taco its simply a cornucopia of indulgence very tasty if any spicy. Victor gets all the ingredients he needs around the corner mexicos markets are a celebration of the fullness and freshness of life. But on the day of the dead mexican celebrate Something Else as well. A morbid fascination with down. The pike. At their home in the countryside victor and his wife imelda have set up an altar for relatives who have passed on but its a tradition. Its. Really not the candle we say this is for you my sister anita. Every candle bears the name of someone who has done and. Its important to provide things that they like would have for example said they can have a drink when they arrive to visit us. For him. My sister in law like tequila so weve also put out a bottle of tequila. And sweet things of course which the dead in mexico savor as much as the living. Bread sprinkled with lots of sugar. War colorful skulls made from pure sugar cane syrup. Then three generations into an old pickup truck. At the cemetery the entire extended family decorates the grave of imelda sister in law who died a year ago. With. Her husband victors brother his overcome by grief. His wife. Her mother was only forty seven but the day is not dominated by sadness. He could have it. Was often its a joyous festival it has to be because life is short with the limbs that although one day it will have to go to yours. See but im proud of the life i lead now and im happy when people come to my stand to eat tacos and leave satisfied you know for leave to return again soon in the fifth. In the evening the smell of incense walked across the graves like a scene of a rock painting. And right behind the cemetery wall people are again cooking and eating like they seem to do everywhere in this country life and death pleasure and pain. Theyre never far apart in mexico. The following morning victor and his family are back on the street setting up their stand. Theyve altered their dead now life goes on. To take. In the problems all those one day will be gone but my sons should carry on here and if they do a better job than me all the better. People always need something to eat naturally were no exception. And. Death is part of life in mexico. But is victor would say as long as were here we might as well eat the best tacos in town. Mexicans live life to the full and thats not always possible for people here in colombia out to see where the fish shop Jose Miguel Munoz is fifty six years old he has eleven children and twenty one grandchildren i love loss of experience where you have to know how to handle the rope thats the key thing is how you spotted a real body chattel.

The whole family pulls together here literally fathers brothers uncles nephews the rope is two to three hundred meters long. Not too fast not too slow the fishermen need to be acute to the rock thats the secret. And that is how the volage heroines have katerina bring in the fish always hoping for a pay cash for a teeming net. And theres enough for everyone. To know. That my own kids dont do this any more they go to school or have jobs in town at the very most theyll come down here to take a walk they arent fishermen and never will be. In love at all but thats. A way of life seemingly suspended in time the fisherman and the only ones with an uncertain future in modern day contacting. Alabama. Once its hold on to land the fish johnny is short. Laugh. From the sea into the frying pan and from then into the pocket. From the pockets of the customer a squeeze of lime and its ready to eat. Supply far outstrips the amount of contact name a street team offenders. Above the normal a. Little odd. And each one carries the weight of his past through the city streets. Like francisco that in terror of the coffee man. Every day he makes his rounds about town there are hundreds of vendors like him hawking coffee pouring and refueling the more often the better obviously if you dont sell you wont survive. Francisco is not from ca to hainan his hometown is a few hundred kilometers away. And i thought it would you believe we had to leave our village because of the violence and the war between Government Troops and the rebels. And we had to flee to save our lives the lives of our families and children we left everything behind me that much of the evil. I had a dad i am and always will be a former.

Sunburst sileo deplane kay well life can be bitter but the food is sweet. Pollyanna and manuela make a sticky dessert out of coconut milk and a whole lot of sugar theyve never seen the recipe written down but often heard it talked about. Isnt that their parents and grandparents showed us everything we watched and learned from them. Up in them or that it isnt so easy but not everyone knows how to make it. About anyone without writs the traditions they know how. That is the. Most residents of palanker are descendants of runaway slaves who founded the community as a refuge four hundred years ago locals say it was the First Independent community in the americas a place with a rich past and to make a future thats the impression you get walking at streets. Not a place thats easy to leave with their homemade goods liana in one way or set out for car to hana. Whatever else the sisters need for the day they pick up on arrival in the city and this is where any romanticism about the traditions of their ancestors and. The fruit in the supermarket they say is simply fresh air. Business is slow in sweets and fruit. But a photograph with the colorful characters that something tourists will pay for. Yet is that ok then he added i hope my kids wont have to do this kind of work my daughters know all about preparing the sweets they know everything. But i dont want them to follow in my footsteps theres no future thats not that bit of info to.

We encountered this vague hope of better times often thomas but nowhere as often as in colombia. In peru norman hope has been passed down through the ages. It doesnt sound flattering when the people of lame out remark of their city its sky has the color of a donkey stomach but maybe it should be seen as a declaration of love the cool waters of the peru current lap the shores of lima they dont just bring fog they also deliver the freshest pacific fish to the capitals doorstep. But we also find a dish that is so simple and wonderful it quickly makes you forget the grey skies. Amid the fish stalls of a district that is poor and sometimes dangerous you find the best city check at dawn you have been here stand.
