fotos (which can conveniently be spanish, or a lazy english version of photos)

i spent today cruising around puebla and saw lots of good things and took pictures of none of them. except these two, but only with my phone because i left my camera at home. the first is of two cool mexican kids wearing what can only be described as the skinniest skinny jeans i've ever seen. the picture from the rear does not do justice to the situation that was happening in front of the pants, but some things are better left unseen. the second is pda a la poblana. had i a wide angle lens for my phone's camera, i would have captured just about the same thing on every bench. making out on a park bench at 3:00 pm would weird me out. doing so two feet away from another pareja sharing an intimate moment would be even worse, but in puebla this is par for the course. in the end i guess i'm the weird guy who took a secret hip shot photo of 4 people hooking up by a fountain.





i will take more photos with my real camera soon, including one i'm dying to get of a shrine to la virgen attached to a telephone pole outside the dorms. and the volcanoes (2) that i can see from the university. one of them sometimes fumes smoke. ¿is this dangerous? the guy who was explaining this to me sad "thats how you know el popo (the volcano) is mad," then he laughed. i'm not a geologist, but i think thats just how you know its about to explode. everyone here is very funny, but its a very dark sense of humor. maybe thats why they love the smiths so much (i have seen many "there is a light that never goes out" stickers on cars, and now recieved an email from a kid who tagged every message with "so you go, and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home, and you cry, and you want to die." IN ENGLISH, and he didn't even speak it that well. i will continue to report on this phenomenon, it fascinates me. hasta pronto.
