For those looking to buy sewing material for clothing- it's all 100% polyester. Just to clarify…read morefurther, when I say "it's all" I specifically mean I looked at each label for each section on both floors and it's all at least 80% or more polyester with some kind of additional blend. The notions are ok but button options are limited, thread colors were low, and there doesn't appear to be any boning available for dress making.

In fact, I even had to go back to grab a couple items I saw that I couldn't come home without! ++ They have the BEST ceramics and pottery that I saw on my entire trip. It was beautiful and so incredibly detailed! ++ The staff was very friendly. I spoke with the owner about his merchandise and he was so kind! ++ There's ALL sorts of shirts, shot glasses, ceramics, sombreros, etc... You name it and they have it! ++ Prices are pretty reasonable for the quality of product you get. Plus, if you have cash, you can negotiate a bit. I would highly recommend checking out Artesanias "Solymar" for your souvenir needs. If I find myself back in the area, I will def be back!

We had buffet style luncheon. They served all sorts of food, and it all had a great Mexican flair…read more They served nice drinks, and then they followed it up with the cool show they do with Mayan performers and with topical-dressed dancers. We had a good time. The mule was a part of a tour group that takes you to Chichen Itza.

This bizarre bazaar is part restaurant and part humongous craft fair. Our tour bus brought us here for lunch after a leisurely stroll in 111 degree F heat through the Mayan ruins at Chichin Ixta. Lunch was a buffet - two separate lines serving Regional (Mexican) dishes and International dishes (think spaghetti and hamburgers). I enjoyed the lunch, You went down a cafeteria style line, and the food servers (by the way, they all wore surgical masks, and that created a very bizarre sight) ladles up the goods. Yucatan roasted pork (Cochinita Pibil), Yucatan Chicken, chicken fajitas, whitefish fingers, mini hamburgers, Chilaquiles (kind of a nacho like dish of corn chips, red chili sauce, shredded chicken, cheese, sour cream and onion), Sweet Lime Soup, (Sopa de Lima), Cowboy Beans (Frijoles Charros), a mash up of beans, onion, garlic, chili, ham, bacon, sausage, tomato and cilantro), Tamales, and a slew of sides like rice, beans, spaghetti, veggies, a salad bar, breads, and mashed potatoes. Desserts are represented too -ever have sweet corn ice cream or lime ice cream? I had both today. So after lunch, the layout of the place flows you into a never-ending gift shop, like a clump of hair relentlessly circling the bathtub drain. there is no escape. Sombreros, ceramics, silver jewelry, everything Mexicana.... the display is very impressive because it goes on forever..
