“Proibido Urinar Neste Local”
My limited spanish-speaking skills tells me I don’t want to drink the water!
The only clipped images are from the market, Matt, where the clouds are a little hot, but I did some real rough-and-ready processing to switch the color profiles from Mac to PC gamma and some of the brightnesses are probably too high on your monitor.
Hey Matt –
Calibration would certainly be nice, but the problem is, on the internet, no one else would have a calibrated monitor!
On the plus side, you do get shown some neat stuff they won’t show the locals because it’s illegal to purchase, like anaconda skins and monkey heads. Naturally, don’t buy!
It’s a good thing I haven’t gone there.
It’s a good thing I haven’t gone there. How could I ever resist buying a monkey head?
Last time I ventured south of the border, I was in college and still had my long hair, and everybody tried to sell me drugs. EVERYBODY. The vendors selling lemonade on the sidewalk would open a secret compartment and whip out the drugs. Apparently, looking like an extra from a Cheech and Chong movie sends a strong message.
