Polaroid of the Week: Colorful corn in San Pedro Market, Cusco, Peru

The Zocalo in Merida is home to several shoe shine men and boys, as are most central parks or squares throughout Mexico and Central America. We stopped to talk to him because of that adorable (and very pregant!) black cat.
Seville is easily our favorite city in Spain. The vibe is a great combination of typical Spanish tapas bars, wine and flamenco dance but also a vibrant young art scene. Check out this street art!
One of the things we were most excited about for Costa Rica was the wildlife roaming freely through the forests. Check out this adorable little spider monkey in Manuel Antonio! So cute!
