    VERY nice, Gringo. BTW - do you know where the term gringo came from?

    Thanks for the comments and no, the trains weren't moving !

    Re: Gringo - my interpretation is a play on the word grin as in Dgrin

    I gather it's also defined as "a person from an English-speaking country - used as a derogatory term by Latin Americans" :uhoh:uhoh:uhoh

    Nice catch!
    The use of a camera is similar to that of a knife. You can use it to peel potatoes, or carve a flute. ~ E. Kahlmeyer

    Not just any English speaking country... its the USA, in the case of Mexico, when at war with the US, the US soldiers whore Green uniforms, and since the mexicans where trying to get rid of them they shouted out Green GO! Green GO! Green GO Home!!! that is were gringo came from... or so I have heard.

    When I lived in Brasil, they seemed to call any stranger gringo, including myself...

    Nice Image by the way,

    thanks for sharing.

    I do not suffer insanity... I enjoy it!!!
