SNIFF!!! do you have any pictures of the outside?

BOT. page 117. Another "second look" (with the magnifier) photo. Behind the sign you can see the building with it's almost Chinese A-frame entrance.
I would love to see a closer shot, to see what the rock wall and the round sign in the gable looked like. The weird outrigger type beams along the top of the building are interesting too, some sort of X-shape. And on the far left, partially out of frame, we can see that the exit doors had a sloping roofline too.

Also, the sign had bamboo and "native" patterns painted behind the lettering.

Correct me if I am wrong, Stingray, but I don't think there was any direct visual reference to Thor's Kon-Tiki. Entrepeneurs often used the name but then avoided using the mask logo in fear of copyright problems. I have a vintage tie with Kon-Tiki masks on it, yet on the back it's label reads "Aztec Masks" (..just in case somebody asked!)
