Mexico - Day 5,6 & 7

It has been a long time since I updated our blog. Nothing really exciting has been happening since Mario has come down with "Tourista" or "Revenge of Montezuma" He has been ridden to the toilet for 2 days straight and on the third day (today) he has finally emerged and has been able to leave the bungalow for little walks at a time. He has eaten chicken noodle soup and then really craved pizza. So far everything is being kept down and their is no nauseau or vomitting.

Here are some pictures of Mario sick. Don't worry they aren't graphic!

Hopefully tomorrow he will be back to his old self and we will able to move on with our vacation.

Here are a few pictures from the night before he got sick. We were at a restaurant called Playa Kabballah when a little boy came up behind Mario and started playing on his head with a bracelet. Mario was like "WHAT IS ON MY HEAD?!" but I was laughing so he settled down. The little boy was only like 10 - 11 years old and here he was in the dark walking from restaurant to restaurant along the beach with a knapsack and a bowl of jewellery. We don't buy alot of things from people who walk around and ask us to buy this or that but this was a kid and Mario knew I would give in.

I went through his bowl and found a couple things that I could wear. He wanted Mario to buy a bracelet that had 2 fish on it drinking from the same glass. So we bought it as well as a purple and white shell necklace and a purple woven bracelet with a couple beads in it. How could I resist? This poor child has been in school all day, probably went home to eat dinner and then he had to start work. Everything we bought came up to 80 pesos. We gaves him 100 pesos and he couldn't believe it. We took a picture of him and he left. He didn't stop at any more tables and we couldnt see him at the restaurants next to us. We would like to think that he made enough money on us that he could finally go home and his family would be proud. He was such a sweet little guy!

In Mexico, the car of choice is the Volkswagon Beetle and let me tell you, I have been in HEAVEN! Almost every other car out here is an older Bug. EVERYONE drives them! I found this cute little one on the side of the road and HAD to take a picture! If Mario would actually let me buy a bug without complaining about all the safety risks of the Winter I would definitely want one like this. I don't think it would work to well in Canada though!
