Exactly.  This is high season and some touristy areas are practically
standing-room only.  You're being jostled all the time by airheaded tourists and
you have to pay attention in order to avoid having people bump into your
equipment.  And the risk of pickpockets is ever present, although they tend to
target people who are far less aware and far more careless.

Anyway, it distracted me enough that I forgot to rewind the film.  Since it is
only ISO 64 and processing is already included, I may or may not send it it--I
haven't decided yet.  These were supposed to be very clean, touristy photos,
though, and any trace at all of the accidental exposure on any of the slides
will ruin them aesthetically.
