Mexico is alive with the sound of...

• Roosters crowing
• Cars blasting music
• Trucks that drive around the colonia or neighborhood every thirty minutes blasting the recording of a  cow bellowing -what for you may ask? to sell canisters of natural gas of course
• Someone incessantly ringing what sounds like a dinnerbell - "oh he's coming to collect the trash" my host mother says when we arrive in the dining room expecting that el desayuno or breakfast must be ready
• Children yelling mama or papa
• Dogs barking
• Fireworks at any time of the day
• Men whistling at women
• People pitching their products
