Promenade

I finally got out of the hotel! We got done with work about 6pm, so it was still daylight a little. And everyone assured me it was very safe here, even the corporate reps from the US office. So I ventured out the ten blocks to the city center and did some shopping. I want to go back during the day and take more photos. I got a few things, one in particular I was hoping for - a nice onyx domino set for my dad for Christmas.

I continue to be amazed at the stupid shit I do when I'm out. People talk to me, right? I just have one of those faces that says 'hey, she probably won't tell you to fuck off, you should talk to her.' So I had about five different conversations with different vendors. Not so bad, except. I. Cannot. Shut. My. Mouth. I tell them things like my name, how long I'm in town, where I'm staying. And the second it comes out of my mouth, I think, you moron. Ah well. I made it back safe. Now I'm just waiting for my dinner and wishing my feet didn't hurt so much.

Sounds like a good evening all around. I haven't left the resort since I got here on Sunday. I'm think of getting out tonight as there is a drug store close by and I have been told has all the stuff we can't get over the counter in the US.

I'm actually kicking myself because I didn't bring my camera and there is so much here that would really be a great picture. I love my nikon, but I'm thinking I might get a smaller camera just to take with me on trips like this.

Enjoy your shopping in Mexico.
