Caballero







A true Mexican cowboy -


At the airport I sat beside the perfect caballero (Mexican cowboy). He has beautiful snakeskin boots, soft green levi's, a gingham shirt and a blue jacket. Atop his fine strong mexican head is a creamy coloured straw cowboy hat - it looks new. He carries a dark dusty blue backpack made of wide whale corduroy. He has such a proud demenour about him that I can't approach him and ask for his photo. Oops, he carries a cell phone so I guess he's not that original!!

Leaving the city we see mountain peaking through the smog and in the valleys you can see miles and miles of fields under cultivation for produce. It must take a lot to feed that many people... and generally they are not vegetarians at all.
