That outdoor lift (elevator as we'd call it) is the largest one I've ever seen. I had to smile at the Peruvian Band -- those guys are everywhere ;>) (We have seen similar bands in many many cities). <br /><br />I think all of your pictures are great -- wouldn't have noticed that the elevator windows were dirty (and can't imagine how they'd keep them clean anyway). <br /><br />Loved it all! Thank you. (And the history about the painter and his way of mixing with the 'peasants' for authenticity was mostinteresting.)lSallie (FullTime-Life)http://travelingrainvilles.typepad.com/traveling_home/2011/09/stripes.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29328508.post-14057071790899090462011-09-14T01:31:37.325+02:002011-09-14T01:31:37.325+02:00I remember the place with the country law!
