Nice report,

Hopefully your next trip would go much better.

Just let a bad experience be a good experience.

Great Pictures!

One of the pics of the painted sign for the Diputado reminds me of my trip. Before I start my story let me say my spanish is seriously lacking in the fluency department... So I kept seeing these signs for diputado this and diputado that. They were painted on walls just like the one you have in one of your pics. So i'm thinking to myself, wow, I didn't know prostitution was that bad here. I thought di'puta'do meant that they were trying to cleanse that particular neighborhood of it's prostitutes. Then I asked my friend what it meant and got the real scoop. It was a "light bulb" moment.
