I was a little dissapointed that there were no men in ponchos on mules with big sombreros. The men, not the mules. Or the mules, in fact anyone in a sombrero would have done. But everyone looked like they had just stepped off a Mayan temple wall carving anyway.
We only had overnight in Cancun so we grabbed a massage, then dinner and sleeeeeeeep. I don't think I have had more than a four hour stretch since I left home.
On the way back from dinner we were stopped by a Texan who was trying to sell a bag of things so he could buy some food. He said his credit card wasn't working and it was Sunday so he could"t call the bank.
Hey, it's Mexico. What do you do. At first it took me a minute to work out what he was asking for.
He wanted $3.00 for some Uno cards and a hair straightner, a Greys anatomy video and a domino game.
We gave him the $3.00, took the Uno cards and left the rest and headed off wondering what had just happened.
Down the street it sunk in and we turned around to try to catch him to give him more. He had a Mexican wife and no food.
My worst nightmare when travelling would be to be stuck with no money and a problem getting it.
He had dissapeared and we walked on hoping that it all worked out for him.
The next day we found a great store that sold Mexican cowboy boots and shirts and hats and, and, and.
They were very cool. There were eel and osterich and deer skin ones with intricate stitching in all colours, but unfortunately not all sizes. Mexicans have small feet. I don't.
There were also crocodile and Iguana ones, was a bit sad.
So we left Mexico with no boots and plans to come back.
