Sideshow Karen

On Saturday morning, I headed to Olinda with my visiting colleague. After touring around a bit, we parked the car on the edge of a small plaza and headed across the street for lunch. As we were walking away, a teenager who was on a school trip started taking close up pictures of my car and its license plates with his cell phone; front, back, side views.... I hung back so that I could survey the scene. The fact that I was watching him and his friends curiously had no effect on their efforts, not even a smile or a wave. Assuming that they were harmless enough, we continued across the street into the restaurant. A few minutes later, they were gone. I continue a bit perplexed! Perhaps it was my fancy blue plates which caught their eyes.... Funny to think that my car is now the picture on someone's cell phone!
