Contraband!

On one of our last nights in Santa Cruz, Bolivia Gabe took us video shopping........ a very interesting experience. One minute you see a line of vendors in the street selling illegally copied videos for 10 bolivianos (a dollar)......... ......the next second a swarm of police officers are shooing off the ones that didn't get away quickly enough, with a warning.........
.....as soon as the officers walk a ways off the vendors are back at it, having re-opened their quickly-closed wheeled carts where they keep the videos.
Here we see Gabe and Ginny sneakily paying a gal for the merchandise, before we had to rush off before the next police 'raid'.
A happy shopper :-) Does she look a little bit guilty to you?

FYI: I was having too much fun watching and taking pictures to buy any contraband.

P.S. Have you seen Wall-e yet? It's really cute.....(It's one of the movies that Aunt Ginny is holding).
