Warm?
Some of these look warmer than it is here today. Sure hope it was warmer. Although some pics look a bit chilly too. Interesting to see. & bouganvilla like in MX. It grows in a lot of areas. Pretty. Thanks for sharing. R&C

'a study in contrasts'
like the selection -- new cars and newspapers vs camels and horses bathed in rivers -- street praying in the dark vs street sewing, bright and colourful in the light day -- thought of 'A Fine Balance' then dawned on me wrong country -- loving your trip in pictures -- thanks Lucille
