Mexico Vacation - Day 5

On day 5, Popo and Kong Kong decided that they were going to show Tyler and Cody the real Mexico since they've been out exploring the local sites on their own for a few days.

They decided that the local tourist market would be a good place to go. I decided to tag along for some cheap shopping experience(how wrong was I!!)

So, we hopped on the local bus, meandered around with a vague map and finally arrived at the Mercado 23(or some other random number). We spent the next few hours looking at more crafts and knick knacks and bargaining and arguing with vendors, trying to find the best deal.. and in the end, we still overpaid by a bunch! ha!! I guess, they do work the tourists everyday and we are seriously of no match to them.

I managed to pick up some bead bracelets, a cute wind chime, a top for Tyler and a hat for Cody. The kids were quite good and didn't throw any tantrums about buying anything. Years of NOT buying them anything is finally paying off!! :)

They finally did whine about being tired which seriously, i agree too!! Anyways, we did a last shopping stop at Walmart for some last minute grocery and headed back to the hotel.

It must have rained the rest of the day because there was no pictures/recollection about it!

All excited to be on the crazy bus
