Los Pyramides in a silly hat

Made a trip out of town to Teotihuacan to see some pyramids built by the guys in charge before the Aztecs. The name `Teotihuacan`, rather dramatically, translates as ´the place where men become gods`. Though there are some pretty nasty deities in Mexico, so you might want to pick and choose...!

It was really hot, so was forced to pay an extortionate amount of money for a hat I looked stupid in. Here is the evidence:






On the up-side, there were many other unsuspecting tourists who found themselves in the same, unstylish boat...

The hat looks pretty cool ... and I mean because it's got lots of holes in it!! Did you know that the Panama hat originated in Ecuador?

Was the hat designed to look like the pyramid or vice versa?

So does this mean that I can have your hat that's at mum's now you've found a suitable replacement?

Steph said...

Oh, the mockery! White legs, hat like a pyramid!! Well at least i would still look nice with something much worse on my head i suppose :)

No sarah, you cannot have my other hat. That is my non-silly home hat. You can borrow it for a small fee.

I really should be quite insulted by your hat disdain. Don't be dissin' my homies, Steph.

That ain't no Panama - you're wearing a straw derivation of a Stetson there, the hat that won the West.

Lookin' mighty fine, too...white legs or no...
