John and Joey very good observations.
I would like to further comment on your following comment
"Progresso is not that way, which always made me wonder why that was. Vendors don't bludgeon you with requests to buy, children don't surround you relentlessly, and young men drinking on street corners don't stare at you with glassy eyes. Things in Progresso are very neighborly and respectful. Would be a real shame to see that disappear. "
I also wonder why the merchants and people of Progesse are so incredibly honest and kind hearted? I learned this first hand last winter when I lost my camera in Nuevo Progresso and had no idea where I had left it. When I went back the next day retracing my steps I was assured at my first stop that if it was found in their town I would get it back. And I did!!!! At that point I gained a whole new respect for the people of Nuevo Progresso.
