Sage advice for tourists

2 new photo albums are up!

While I was looking through them, this picture reminded me of something I feel needs to be said, in hopes that fewer travelers will stick out like khaki-coloured sore thumbs. Please, when you are on vacation, avoid common tourist pitfalls - those that this gentleman is aptly demonstrating for us.

1) Do not wear a tilly hat, even if you burn easily
2) Do not wear khaki shorts
3) Do not wear a giant SLR camera around your neck
4) Do not carry a gigantic bag to the beach
5) Do not wear hiking boots on the beach

For if you do, you will attract every kid on the beach selling CDs and sunglasses like this guy did. I don't have many pet peeves, but man, your 'typical tourist' is up there.
