Mazatlán Garbage Mountain

As the end of the year fast approaches and the rounds of parties, boozing and eating begins, we would all like to know where the debris from those occasions go. Well I wanted to know so we at MazReal took a trip to where all our household crap goes if you live in Mazatlán. So for anyone who has not been up the top of this mountain of garbage, very few I suspect unless you had the opportunity of going with The Vineyard Ministries Garbage Mountain Tour to hand out water and a snack, here you go. This is what happens to it…………...

As you can see, there is no need to recycle at source as it is efficiently done here in the stink and heat and these people can earn a few paltry pesos to do it for us. We can only guess who makes the bulk of the recycling money? Not the individuals who do all the work I suspect. However I have a notion but we don't want to go too deep in that direction.

So have a merry Christmas and watch this vid in its full colour and glory full screen by clicking the 1080 HD button.

Take a Refreshing Weekend Up a Mountain.

Our international cameraman took himself off up a mountain this weekend to savour the refreshing, bracing, champagne quality of the air up there. He filmed some of the locals going merrily about their business in a happy and jovial mood as they kept their neighbourhood clean, did their wonderfully fulfilling jobs and sat down every 3 or 4 hours to set up tables overflowing with tasty eating delights and cool frosty sparkling wines and chilly glasses of volcanic water. At the end of the day the men would stop to relax and converse and puff away on high class Cuban cheroots while the women and their sweet kids danced around and sang Julie Andrews songs in soft green pastures. After which they get into their charabancs and donkey carts and pootle gayly down the mountainside back to their delightful alpine  A Frame houses surrounded by pretty  Eidelweiss and other colourful flowers.






A jolly good day was had by all and they will do it all again the next day and the next till this nice dream becomes a boring, dirty, slog like a route march and the temperature rises to 110 in old degrees and 40 in new and the humidity goes off the chart and you drink liquid from leftovers in the plastic bottles buried deep in garbage and eat thrown-away oranges and half chewed mangos and suck in lungfuls of dust as trucks go passed every 5 minutes.................

You get the idea by now.

The good news is that you are giving these people a living so we can all feel much better about it.

Hooray for garbage!!!!
