    Great belt, what a treasure, a true spiritual gift from the heart.

    On the commercial side - if you could get those belts woven up in colors to match tartans I'll bet there'd be a market for them for the Juarez weavers...wonder what, if any, import complications you'd have. Guessing you could get a stack of initial orders right now off your post here.

    So, what do they call a kilt along the borderlands? Know the formal Castillian is falda Escotia - Scottish skirt - but guessing the borderland Mexican Spanish has a cooler, less formal word???

    And dang lad, weren't you a tad toasty in Juarez in July with a cap and kilt hose on??

    Never mind that you triggered some memories in this olde geezer of some time in Juarez in 1965...I was on a mission too...but I can guarantee it was no religious mission...nuf said there....

    Background in some of those shots looks a lot like rezlands up this way...Third World stuff. Good on you for your service.
