When you’re traveling, it’s good to get pictures of the local life. This picture has so much detail and you can tell so much just by looking around. What I noticed that you can’t really tell though is that I was in Mexico! Most of the signage that catches your eye is in English! IContinue reading “Tacos El Paisano”
