If Sallah were Colombian...


This shoe repair joint was in a bathroom next to our hostel in Leticia.

It looks like some guy just claimed a public bathroom and took some spray paint to the door posts. He might make more money by renting out his shower than repairing heels. That's why you diversify.

Then again, it could have been a recent immigrant from Yemen who told border officials that he was a shoe repair man - despite no experience or small motor skills. He liked the idea so much that he kept the dream alive and finally opened his own bathroom.
