The ill-fated weapon of mass destruction

Here's a picture of the tomahawk that was seized at the airport. We have four photos of us in various poses with it. That's all we got for our $20 (that and the memory of wielding that knock-off Aztec weapon, and fantasizing about single-handedly repelling the Conquistador invasion and preserving Montezuma's Aztec Empire only to be sacrificed to Queztocoatl in gratitude... What? Don't tell me you would have thought the same thing!). I love the kids in the background with their "look at the stupid American" expression. It was an expression we saw there, on the bus back into the city, on the subway, in the hotel lobby, and at the airport. I guess it was the Mexican equivalent of wearing those stupid foam Statue of Liberty hats. No self-respecting local would dream of getting within 5 feet of one of those things!
