Here's my memory of that stop-over: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1370864/_IGP2352-K5-1peso.jpg (I might not have photographed it if it wasn't for the colourful ice cream truck parked under it) Cheers Brian ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ > > I hardly shot anything at that particular location it isn't a very > handsome spot.. but I do often use photos as trip markers...
