Mexican Botanica

How about this photo, huh? There is so much going on that I don't know what exactly to look at first. This is a picture of a Mexican Botanica. It is a bit stylized as the content were moved from its original location in San Antonio, Texas. A botanica is a sort of herbal shop, offering all sorts of herbs, religious items, magic potions, good luck charms, statues, and just about anything that will cure your ills. They had love potions and prayers and much that is just plain strange. This particular store is now located in the Alameda Museum in downtown San Antonio. The original store (one of the last remaining as I understand) was closed after the owner passed away.

Took this in Lisbon Portugal while back at a Gothic monastery that I can't remember the name of. I think it was something complicated in Portuguese that I should have written down. Cool picture. There is a couple in on the side there, that was making out the whole time I was taking pictures on this floor.
