iso y salvador

salvador the barbero is by far my favorite venezuelan neighbor; he's super sweet--every morning he wishes me, "buenos dias blondie" and gets extra cool points for keeping a huge stack of nat geos from the 80's in his barber shop. salvador is also in love with my landlady, isolina. I think she loves him back, but she won't admit it. they sit like this every night in his shop after isolina walks her dog. it is really cute.
