	Mexican tile roof In stark contrast to the simple thatched roofs abundant elsewhere, buildings near the cruise ship pier in Cozumel were often roofed with ceramic tiles. We were treated to closeup views of the roofing process as we headed back to the ship --- men were mixing cement on the ground, hoisting it up onto the roof in a five gallon bucket on a rope, and laying the tiles. In general, I was impressed by how much more hand labor is evident in Mexico. I can't imagine a U.S. construction crew hauling buckets of cement up to the roof of a building by hand, or (as I saw earlier) cutting the grass along the highway with machetes. While I admit to enjoying some of our modern conveniences, I think we could all use a small step back to remember the use of simple hand tools. Our homemade chicken waterer is the best of both world's --- simple to build, but long-lasting and effective. Want to be notified when new comments are posted on this page?
