Yeah, I was walking home from a wonderful dinner and came across this… at first I just smiled and gestured to the guys (who were speaking Spanish). They kind of smiled at me. But then they got caught up in their phone conversations and I couldn’t resist… I don’t think they even saw me take the photos…
