A rose salesman tries to sell roses to couples by creating a compromising situation. He always asks them (or rather the guy): “¿Se la merece o no se la merece?” - “Does she deserve a rose, or doesn’t she?”.

Indian Girl in Embera Village

The dark lines on the girl’s body are of a vegetable dye they make. It is as a sun-block and at the same time keeps the bugs away. She was painting another woman’s arm. Indians in Panama are very nice people.
