At the far north end of the malecon this main street terminates at a cross road which leads to a large tourist, hotel, and restaurtant district near the Mexican Naval Headquarters. Wierd, isn't it, that they would have that huge grey wall sitting at the end of this picturesque area.

Well, it isn't a wall at all. It is a huge grey ship. The second picture is taken from a different angle. Same boat. This odd-shaped vessel is said to carry up to 3,000 cars which are partially constructed. They are shipped in from Volvo, GM, Ford, Volkswagen, and others, to Mexico. From the port they are trucked to plants where assembly is completed and then they are shipped or trucked to distributors and dealers. Cheap labor? Must be.
