"It's a nice
town,peaceful,clean and secure ,"says store owner Felipe Romeo."But there's nothing muvh
for the kids to do once they finish scool.Nothing but fishing and raising sucarcane, beans or
bananas.If they want something else, they have to leave."
Once a bustling port, Tlacotalpan faded when it was bypassed by the railroad that came to the
region in the last century a story repeated in many of Veracruz's small towns.Now not much
is left exeot crayon coloured houses, fishing boats bobbing on the waterfront,trees laden
with green bananas, and an occasional round of dancing in the plaza necessities of life in
sedate, seductive Veracruz.
