The woman with scales for a head

One can find almost anything in Central America. In Gracias, Honduras I came across this unfortunate woman who had measuring-scales growing out of her head. I think it may be a consequence of spending too much time in the market.

As you can see, her ears and mouth are functional but she has no eyes. However, she was still able to match her clothes with the avocados.

Drug dealer - Hopkins, Belize

This is a pretty empty statement... almost everyone in Belize offers you ganja. If you can't score in Belize there is seriously something wrong with you.

I asked this guy if he knew where to find the local bakery. He said he didn't know - even though he was sitting right in front of the sign - and offered me marijuana instead. Ten minutes later I found him sitting on top of the basketball ring.

I will say this only once: drugs are bad!

Welcome to Guatemala

This is my first memory of entering Guatemala - the butcher with the picture of the sad cow on its shop-front. The cow almost looks angry and possibly threatening, as if to say, "Bad things will happen to those who buy meat from this place."
