During our stay here in Mexico we've noticed that there are two major groups of people. There are the local people and there are the tourist. Sometimes it's easy to tell them apart. Other times it's not so easy.

I tried to pick some that will really make you have to look closely to pick up on the subtle differences.

Are you ready? Let's see how you do.

Is she a tourist or a local?

How about this little girl? Tourist or local?

Is this a tourist or local selling hats?

Is this a tourist washing out a few things or a local doing laundry?

Is this a tourist or just a local in colorful Mexican garb?

It's hard to tell with that fine Mexican sombrero! But, is he a tourist or a local?


Post your guesses and maybe I'll give away some prize to the person who is the best at spotting the difference.
