I love curves!
The first time I went south of Monterrey on highway (1 in the mid 80s)  
I stopped at a restaurant overlooking the Pacific for a hamburger. The  
restaurant had been recommended by a friend it was, he said, run by  
hippies. The hamburger and view were great, I photographed the sunset.  
I bought a "no name" pen in the shop underneath which is, to this day,  
my most used pen.
Good memories.
