Here’s one of the Basílica del Voto Nacional, as seen from the
air…  Have any of you ever climbed the towers?  Dh and I

I miss Chifles! (salty banana chips)

If you’ve been there you know that the colors above are not enhanced…
I sure miss those brilliant vegetables
so pungent to smell and such depth of flavor
