Mike I think the custom for women to assume the position closest to the wall is more common that you might think. I was certainly taught this as a child, that a gentleman always walks on the street side of a lady...it originates in Mediaeval Europe....you know, so the ladies would avoid being hit by the slop thrown out of the top side windows into the street below...many traditional societies still practice this nicety.

....and now that it's the rainy season, we ladies don't get our skirts or slacks splashed as badly if we're on the inside track. Thanks, fellas.

Well. I'm a woman, not particularly decrepit either, and my hair has not yet turned gray (good genes, I think), but I am constantly jostled off the narrow sidewalks of San Miguel by young Mexican women. It has puzzled me for years!

Pues, ni modo...
