Yesterday some of the RV Park gang decided to go to Mexico. Lonnie and Janie invited me to come with them so I jumped at the chance. I love Mexico. Also, I had been wanting to get a pedicure for some time and it is so cheap in Mexico to have anything like that done. Once down there, I decided to go for the works and get a manicure, a pedicure and also have my eyebrows done. Or I should say what I have LEFT of my eyebrows done since I seem to be losing eyebrows and eyelashes on a consistent basis since I left Vancouver. Anyway, it was a great relaxing experience and very cheap. I got it all done for $22.00( plus tip of course). The young Mexican girl that did it all was very good and I was very pleased with the end result. It is so nice to get pampered once in a while!
When I was finished with the “spa treatments”, I joined the girls at a table set up on the street beside a street vendor and we all had longes before starting to shop. It was a beautiful sunny day and we all enjoyed soaking up the sunshine.
Mexico has so many in interesting places and the store sings are all painted in very vibrant colors.
The sidewalks are lined on both sides with street vendors selling all kinds of jewellery, clothes and just about anything else you can imagine. Janie ask a fellow if he could fix her watch band and when he said that he could she ask him how much he would charge. He told her that she could pay him whatever she wanted. He did a good job and as Janie has a big heart he got got paid a fair price. These people have so little and none of our group takes advantage of them.
When we finished shopping, we met up with the men and went to listen to some very good Mexican music and did some dancing. The singer was very good and did a lot of requests from the audience.
For some reason we decided that we should all eat AGAIN, so off we went to another street vendor who sold baked potatoes. These were no ordinary baked potatoes. First of all, they were HUGE!
Inside the baked potato were onions, some kind of meat, cheese, and lots of spices. And on the side of course were nachos and chile sauce. They were very delicious but even though Janie and I split one it was still more than we could eat.
We headed home from Mexico all feeling very stuffed but happy. I caught this sunset through the truck window on the way home. I have tried to enlarge it but I am still using windows writer as the blog problem still hasn’t been resolved so this is all I could do. Hopefully, you may be able to click on it and make it enlarge once I get this published.
Keep warm.
