Merry Christmas!


This is the giant plaster Santa I mentioned in the previous post, and he's not alone. Christmas decorations started to go up last weekend. It is kind of funny how an equatorial, third world city has adopted aspects of global culture that are totally out of place, like reindeer, snow, and fat men in heavy coats asking for a heat stroke in the 95 degree weather. This particular store of Wal-Mart-on-the-Amazon is four large city blocks from my house.
