Street Vendor - Mexico
Here's my hat story. We were being typical tourists seeing the sights. It was a very hot day and my sunglasses just were not enough so I bought a hat like the one he's holding in his hand. I wore the hat for about half an hour and having a bit more shade was a relief. I usually don't sweat much, but because it was extremely hot, and because I was wearing a hat, and because we were walking a lot, I was sweating and wiping the sweat off my face with my hand. After awhile I happened to glance down at my hand, and it was blue! I couldn't figure out what it was, then I looked in a mirror and there were blue streaks running down my face. I discovered the dye on the hat band was not water proof! Another example of getting what you pay for!!! I was just looking over this post before 'publishing' it and just noticed something in this picture for the first time. It appears the person purchasing a hat from the vendor has his hand up to his face. I wonder if he is wiping sweat from his brow?? I probably wasn't the only one ending up with blue face paint that day. Ha Ha.
