Hey Pikeys Dog! Gracias!
I'm not sure if I got the names of the birds right. We need an ornithologist!
How exotic is England lately?
What's the meaning of your nickname?
Aloha amigo.

Two frames I missed to post...
Our capitalistic friend implementing the principles of merchantilism in a simple society.
Shriner says: "I don't want yours, I want his" (then walks away not buying any of the two hats)
What was Master Buñuel trying to say?
Clap your hands and say AJUA!!!
The shriner is not really a dancer, but he is really tring and the locals apreciate that. (He get points with la muchacha.)

Last Friday I went to see Los Twin Tones and Daddy-O-Grande.
Amazing band.
One of the most impressive gigs I´ve seen in ages.
I suppose that a band from Mexico playing songs about Almeria desert is exotic enough for this thread. 
Great cover by Dr. Alderete for his last CD and their "Invasion Mexicana" European tour.

Hey! I thought my last post here was cool enough for a reply or two... oh well, business as usual...
Maybe this rare picture of Jakie-O saluting the aztec godess of the underworld will get you going... Sometimes I wonder... Why I even bother?...

Dusty amigo,
I don't know if there was any Tiki at the Hotel Palacio Tropical Acapulco and I can't tell from the picture in the ad,(Sorry for not scanning the picture, I am away from my Tiki research lab. right now) but I think there was. Those "Exotic Kon-Tiki gardens" sound very intriguing to me...
Probably we will never find out. We will have to let the mystery be.
