July 17, 2006 — What is it about Mexico that brings out the love of bright colors in people? I don’t know the history, but here are a couple of results. This picture was taken at a toll booth for a cuota highway.

And here’s a motel we stayed in. Orange, a peachy color, and yellow are so common in Mexico that I designed my website to use them… softer tones than these walls!

The motel room was mercifully more subdued in tones.
