swingin' deals...


i have to admit i hate haggling over prices. especially here where things are, really, for the most part, cheap. or at least inexpensive. but today i did a little to help bring down the price of a 'thing' i bought for the garbs - since the garbs is paying for it, i bargained on his behalf and shaved off a few bucks. the seller seemed happy in the end so all's well...i know the garbs will be happy.
my last full day here was spent walking around - shocker - and checking my mental list of things i wanted to make sure i bought/got before i left here (my xmas list as it were...) and i think i've made a dent in that list and will take a heavy bag with me to the airport tomorrow - a second bag i purchased in oaxaca in case i bought too much...and i did.
i had a nice lunch whipped-up fresh today across from my hotel (video on youtube later on tonight...i hope.) and tonight ricardo, persao and i are going to see the luche libre and i couldn't think of a better way to spend my last night here. hopefully they have some good swag there.

hasta pronto!

this dude rolls around town with his cart selling treats - candy, nuts, seeds, etc...

the boys love it when he comes by.

this guy made me lunch...it was awesome. beef with bacon all grilled up with onions, green peppers, etc...see below...i had to have two..



later on we had hamburgers at this stand. they grill them to order and they're great...there will, hopefully, a video on youtube later because they were playing a remake of a classic canadian song while they cooked burgers...

this kid was the burger king tonight!
