Subject: [Leica] Where to go?

In Mississippi, excepting Jehovah's Witness missionaries, no one walks
anywhere.  So for street photography I go to two places, one having a good
exchange rate.  That's San Miguel de Allende in Mexico, an old colonial town
in the high country north of Mexico City.  Fly into Leon.  In San Miguel
everyone walks everywhere, and with the old architecture you'll need a lot
of film.
    The other place with the not so good exchange rate are the small towns
and medieval villages of the Dordogne area of France.  Fly into Toulouse and
drive two hours north.  Try Villeneuve sur Lot, Figeac, Bergerac, and
Cahors.  And when you need a break the food and wine are the best in the
world.
