Our Cancun Vacation Day 2 (post 1)

Saturday morning we got up and went to breakfast at the same place we snacked at Friday afternoon.

Ooops, Mr. D. will get me if he discovers this!

After breakfast we ran into some of our buddies in the gift shop and decided to take a little trip to the market place. We grabbed a cab and bargained for a good rate. The nine of us got the round trip for $90. Sounds high but in Nassau it cost us $4 per person each way. We did alright.



We spent too much money here. Mr. D. and I both bought sterling rings. Mine was a Mayan symbol band and his a Harley-Davidson insignia. We had to have hubby's sized but it didn't take the guy 30 minutes and that's with having to run back and forth to where ever it was done. $40 for his (it's a big ring to fit a helluva finger), $20 for mine. Hubby was wearing a Harley-Davidson shirt so all the merchants were pulling on him to come see their H-D stuff. One man was even so bold as to say, "Ok, my turn. You have to come see what I've got!" We wound up buying a $160 Harley-Davidson 100th Anniversary bracelet from him. I hope we got a decent deal. He was originally asking $280 for it. Later a merchant asked what we paid for the bracelet. When we told him he responded, "Really? You paid $160 for that?" I couldn't tell if he was impressed or laughing at us. Oh well, it's a really sexy bracelet.





Mr. D. picked out an H-D T-shirt. The guy was asking $30 for it. I told him we could get it for $18 at the Harley shop at home. He came down to $22 since it did say Cancun on it. Then it so happened that he didn't have correct change in dollars so he asked could he owe us. I guess the shirt cost us $25 in the end. Wonder how many people that worked on.

I found some really soft brown window toed clogs to wear that night to the awards dinner but my only purse was black. That just wont due so I bought a little handmade pouch from a local lady and her little girl. They said they made them themselves and were asking $5. I gave the lady $5 and the little girl $2. I received a bunch of "gracias".



On the way back to the Hotel hubby had the taxi driver to stop at the liquor store. He just had to have some tequila to carry home. Apparently he's already forgotten what happened to the mango rum we carried home from Nassau. Mango rum spilled all over out pillows in the suitcase. Yuck.
