Give Me Them Bananas!

So we saw something very interesting on the way to Feast last night. Enrique, Aaron, Lida and myself were at a red light around the Cristo (the big Jesus statue here by Burger King). The traffic is front of us was moving, and I saw this truck filled with bananas. Behind the truck, which was moving, was a young boy. This boy was holding on and running behind the truck. I´d say the truck was moving around 30 mph. And the boy was able to get a hold of a whole bunch of bananas to share with his comrade who were washing windows, juggling, and asking for change. Simply witnessing this whole transaction was surreal, like something you´d see in a movie. Santa Cruz the Movie, how would that look. It is sad that kids have to do things like that just to get by. I hope they were tasty.
