Personal memory by Santiago Aguilar
2005 • Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico
When I was liitle I lived in Cancun, Mexico. I remember that at a certain time of the year streets, closed to where I lived, would fill with thousands of little crabs crossing from the sea to the mangrove swamp. Now, many years later, you're lucky if you see 2 or 3 crabs crossing the street to go home.
