Jorge's salary does not allow him to rent a house and he lives with the family of his wife on the outskirts of the city from where he travels for two hours to get to work. Pulque is a traditional alcoholic beverage made from the fermented sap of the maguey plant. Picture taken July 24, 2013. [Photo/Agencies]
