Day 50: cancun shopping...

On our last full day, Eliza and I stated longer than the rest of the group and went closer into the city, the rest of the trip we were down on the Mayan peninsula and we ended up 20 minutes out of downtown cancun and right on the water. Shopping in Mexico is far from what I remember and no matter how much we haggled, the prices didn't get lower. The guys were very insistent that everything way high quality, not Chinese. How racist of them. We were also given every deal you could imagine including the sisters, weekend, and rainy day deals yet somehow all the prices were the same. One guy even had the nerve to charge Eliza $175 for a single plate, seriously. I felt defensive, annoyed, and taken advantage of. I ended up spending $20 or so on a handful of little things (maracas, wooden toys, bobbing head ladybug, and goodies) for the kids. I tried to bring back habanero hot sauce for Brandon after passing up a real leather whip, but the customs people wouldn't let me bring it through. Oh well. That night we went for a dip in the ocean in the dark and ate at two tasty restaurants (Mexican and Thai food). It was the perfect end to our weekend of tropical relaxation!!
