Straw Hat
Walking through a sporting goods store earlier this week, I noticed a rack of straw hats on sale. My Dad always wore a straw hat when he was mowing grass and working outside in the heat. I thought I'd give it a try.
Pretty sporty, wouldn't you say? It's not a work hat, but it's not a cowboy hat either. I might have to find a sombrero to keep the sun off my shoulders.
A few years ago the Missus and I spent a couple of weeks in Zihuatenejo, Mexico. What with all the hoopla of getting ready and getting to the airport I fogot my hat. I found a nice straw hat much like the one you're wearing in a small mercado and paid abour five pesos as I remember. That worked out to nearly 54 cents US. Still have it, still wear it.
