December 20, 2011. Paradise Village, Mexico. The Trolley Drivers.

He is our favorite trolley driver.  He waves at his friends and calls out a greeting to almost everyone we pass.  When you step up to the free trolley he greets us as though we have just given him a gift.  and he always says goodbye with a smile.  

The route takes about thirty minutes to complete and he drives the trolley for twelve hours but he seems to enjoy his job and he knows everyone he meets along the route.  This is the third year the trolley has been in operation and he has been one of the drivers every year.  The other driver pays no attention to you or to anyone else along the drive.  He just drives the trolley.  It is my guess that our favorite driver receives more tips!!

Our driver is local.  It is winter here and he wears boots and jeans.  Today, we were wearing sandals and shorts with a light shirt.  In the middle of the ride he pulled out his wool sweater and wore it the rest of the trip.  It looked ridiculous but he was warm in his sweater while I was warm in my shorts.   To each his own.
