Sorry it's been so long since I blogged.....I was discouraged by writing almost an entire blog post a few days ago, saving it (so I thought), and then finding that it was gone when I returned to blogger to post it. Vagaries of slow connections and slow website responses. Frustrating.
Anyway, as per the title of this post, if you take a look at
our photos for this trip, most of them are fairly static, or formal. Things like pictures of pretty buildings or
every artifact in the Mexico Museum of Anthropology. (Okay, Harv hasn't posted every photo we took there.....and we didn't even take pictures of everything in the museum. Although you'd be forgiven for doubting that statement if you were forced to sit through the "slide show" version of all of the photos from our trip. The Museum of Anthropology would occupy approximately hours 12 through 20 :-).
Unfortunately, our Canon Digital Elf (the snap camera) died about 2 weeks into our trip. All of our photos since then have been taken with the SLR, which is great, but is too heavy to carry everywhere we go. It also seems like too much trouble to haul out for a quick shot in a street or market or while we're driving. Which means that we don't have photos of a lot of fun things that we've encountered. Like the innumerable cars parked in the "No Estationmento" (No Parking) zones, or the drift of plastic bags captured in one particular segment of roadside cactus, or the vast vacant and beautifully paved highway in the middle of nowhere in particular with the 60 km/hour limit.
Oh well. Too late to go back in time and buy a new one back then. And we probably have enough pictures of our trip for all practical purposes.
