[Leica] IMG: Chicha Drinkers

[kcarney1 at cox.net (Ken Carney)]

I think it is very well balanced - I wouldn't change anything.  I've never
been there, but the image seems very alive, conveying the sense of the place
as I imagine it.  The beer, I don't know...sounds like even a Bud Light
would be welcome.
