In my photo of the cowboy a few days ago I mentioned his machete, which is very typical of those who work the land in Costa Rica. Here is a close photo of the weathered, heavily used sheath of a machete. This was not the cowboy's machete, but was around the belt of Pablo, the gardener for our Langosta condo.
I have shown Pablo in the past, and he took us to visit the ranch that I showed extensively on this site a few months ago.
Today is Sunday, so we have new photos on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site. This week we are showing photos of Egypt, including some of the people, the tourist police, and some of the experiences of a tour of this magnificent, ancient country.
Machetes are scary looking instruments.

ReplyDeleteElderly gents in France always have their Opinel (aka canif, aka multipurpose pocket knife) with them. This is bigger.
