On my recent trip to Peru, I was surprised by all the quality hat wear I saw there, among those who wear them on a daily basis. Some examples:

OK not all were into the high quality:

but it wasn't unusual to see the Quechua women in nice hats:

In the Hiram Bingham museum there were some pics of his expeditions, with some folks wearing serious hats as protection from the elements:

I ran into this German man who obviously was into quality head gear. He was wearing an Akubra. It's nice to meet other folks who enjoy traveling in quality hats:

I asked this lady where she bought her hat, and she would only say "In el mercado." Which didn't help, because l looked in 4 mercados, no luck:

Wonderful pictures and a lot of colorful belts that would make great guitar straps. Your sure don't see smiles like those walking around our cities! Thank you

Just seen the coca leaves. Must be why everyone is smiling. I hear they are good to chew on!
