Moto row  Chiny's got a nice variety of paving stones available.  Don't cry for me Mexico.  Packrat, Mexican style  Another unique house.  Roasted chicken. Yum! Check out that roaster on the left!  Or maybe you want to roast your own chicken. Who doesn't love to eat a happy cartoon chicken!  La Plumita also offers fresh turkeys, dead or alive, for your holiday needs. Cut off date to reserve a turkey was December 15th though.  Drive through bill payment at CFE, the electric company.  Or you can pay your electric bill at any one of these convenient locations. Whatever you do, do NOT attempt to pay inside the CFE office. Unless you want to kill an hour standing in line!  Paletas are the best! I love the way "Gerry" decorated his paleteria.  Playing soccer at the Gonzalo Guerrero Park.  This sign states that $3,355,398 pesos has been invested in actions to save public spaces in the municipality of Solidaridad (including Playa del Carmen south to North Akumal). "Learn, enjoy, reclaim your space, and strenghten your community."  Groovy in green.  Have a nice day!

The current health card thing is very real, this is a common thing with the cantinas like that. I have always assumed that they ask for the health card because the only women that come into that place are in the line of work that their clients would like to know they have no communicable(sexually or otherwise) diseases. It is the same health card that food service workers are required to have.

Mexican Market in Playa del Carmen
Read this post in blog format.
Over the weekend, Marissa and I went off in search of a Sunday market in the Colosio. I had heard there was a traditional Mexican market somewhere in the Colosio near a church. We managed to find it on or around Calle 54 from 30th Avenue to about 15th Avenue. Traditional Mexican markets sell just about everything including fruits and veggies, spices, tacos, clothing, electronics, household goods, and more. I generally don't buy much, but always find something interesting. Entrance to the market from 30th Avenue.  Lots of girly, pink stuff here.  No matter where you are in Mexico, you'll always be able to buy a knock-off backpack. Tommy Halfager anyone?  I love the problem solving skills of the Mexican people. This lady has found a cheap and creative way of getting shade and storing for her handbag.  Piggy banks  Am I the only one who finds some baby dolls creepy?  Marissa and I were absolutely fascinated by this building along the way.   Traditional embroidery.  And modern rocker T-shirts.  I don't why this guy brought his laundry to an internet cafe.  I had myself some shrimp on a stick. Very tasty, but I had issues with the shell that was left on. Mexicans eat the whole thing including tail! I'm so high maintenance.  Marissa was eyeing these cute skirts.  And these cute bras.   There was even entertainment.  We had a nice time, but I would have liked to have seen some fresh (organic even?) fruits and vegetables and spices. Luckily, we have DAC for that.
