If your so prescient, then dance on this beach! For most of the journey I was slap up against a secretary from Mexico City . She phoned me later from a hotel room. “Hello, remember me?” “Yeah, I remember you.” It was a cramped 36 hour drive. We walked, and slowly unfolding, headed towards the cheap hotel in the dark. It was 2 am. We could hear the leaves rustle, but couldn't see trees. There was a taco shop on the way. Three wide-awake people inside. They prepared our tacos, Merida style with Cochinita pibil. http://www.flickr.com/photos/rickpoon/2628699757/ Cochinita Pibil First, fatty pork is marinated in achiote and dissolved in orange juice. Achiote is a red ochre paste made from a type of berry native to the Yucatan . The pork is then baked slowly in banana leaves . The wrap is placed in a clay pot in the oven or in a pressure cooker. It’s ready in an hour and a half or so. When the pork is cool, practiced fingers shred the meat into its fibres
