Recently I went to my mom's hometown, a place called Cotija in the southwestern state of Michoacan in Mexico. During that trip, I took photos of some girls driving around the plaza in huge ATVs, which you can read about in the current issue of VICE. While on that trip, a few miles before getting to Cotija, we drove by a town called Tocumbo. Tocumbo happens to be the Mexican capital of ice cream and icicles ["icicle" is Mexican for "popsicle" -Ed.]. In fact, ice creams and icicles are so important for this town that they built a huge monument for them, aptly named: Monumento al Helado y la Paleta.
