There is a entrepreneurial spirit here in Mexico unlike anything that I've seen in America. I saw two examples over the past weekend in San Carlos.

One example was a guy that washed my car for me. He couldn't find regular employment , so he just went into restaurants along the strip and solicited work by making offers to random strangers. I posted his photo on Facebook, and was a little shocked that he thought I had asked to take his photo because I suspected him to be a "Banditio". I assured him it was because I wanted to remember him as a friend because I didn't know if or when I would ever get back to San Carlos.

Another example was a gentlemen that bused grocery carts at the Ley grocery. He lived in Guaymas, but he hadn't had steady work there for three days so he took a bus (I assume) to San Carlos and provided this service for tips. The bus fare is 14 pesos each way so that had to be eating into his tips unless he caught a ride some other way. It's entirely possible that he road a bicycle but it would be at least an hour or more ride each way if he did.

Wait, there was a third guy outside the grocery store selling shrimp. They were huge.

So it's entirely possible that there were more examples that I missed. I'm pretty sure almost all of the restaurants that I visited there were family business concerns.
