Technological Innovation
I've seen a few things in Mexico but this is on my top ten list. A grill built from a wheel rim with rebar supports. It's short--only comes up to about your waist, and it's small, just the diameter of a car wheel, but it represents a cultural embrace of recycling, innovation, and utility that reflects a spirit we can only wish for on our part of the continent. Really and truly--sorry if I gush, but I was blown away by this simple built object and it got me looking closer at what people are doing in markets and on the street in the Yucatan, making beautiful simple handbuilt objects incorporating used manufactured parts.
Guess how much this cost in pesos (about 12.5 pesos to the dollar) and I'll write to you and tell you how much it was.
