Well Happyy Birthday. 50 is awesome, as in I am going to be Fifty in two Months.
Also, are we trying to guess where you are?
It looks like Telume Mexico or Belieze to me.

Well worth the trip. I haven't stayed there but when I am up in Decorah I always stop by.

It's about $8.50. ;)

I paid 8 cents for an elevator ride yesterday in Salvador, Brazil. This apparently funds the salaries of the ticket taker, security guards, and the elevator operator who pushed either the "1" or the "2", depending on direction.

But before you think it's a bad financial model, recognize that I also paid 8 cents for the trip back down.

The back story is actually kind of interesting. There's a 100-foot cliff down the middle of the city, so someone (I'm presuming the city) built a small building that consists of nothing but four elevators. If you need to go from the low part to the high part, you either buck up the 8 cents and take the elevator or you walk up a long road at the end of town that according to at least one guidebook "is just asking to be robbed". I weighed the pros and cons and invested the 16 cents for the round trip.

The picture of the Coast in the beginning made me think Costa Rica. But the Heads look like Easter Island.

If you have a picture of you planting a Chiefsplanet flag on Mars, I'm going to be so ****ing pissed.

He went out on a boat cruise in Peru and hasn't logged on Facebook for 10 hours. His mom is pissed and sent the Peruvian government to look for him.

Still working on the whole birthday trip and have very slow internet. I'll post pictures and a summary once I return to the northern hemisphere and its more advanced information infrastructure.

Saw a Rainman post in the experimental soda thread and it spawned me to bump this thread. We've all been waiting for the perfect photo
