As usual, you are absolutely correct, Eric. I've actually been going
back and forth on this quite a bit, those two little dudes on each
shoulder have got their megaphones blaring in my ears. 

If this was an actual, physical, dead-tree book, a printed travel
guide, I'd have already clued them in. It feels harmless to me, though,
since it's just a photo on a web site, something easily changeable once
they do find out.

Still, I've been waffling, and you just poured on the syrup!
