No traffic control in sight. This was on the screen of a computer for sale at Sam's Club in Guaymas. We happened onto the "Grand Opening" of the first Home Depot in Guaymas. Christmas trees for sale at............ Walmart Home Depot And Santa Fe Market in San Carlos. Another unique food cart (seen at the Empalme Sunday Market). Also available at the Empalme Market: "F
