I'm not complaining about him/her but do find it amusing so I typically look a tchotchke shop and find some tacky gifts... On my last trip to Playa Del Carmen, I stumbled across Wayan thinking it was the perfect tacky crap store... it was the Fish Pedicure that caught my eye; I had no interest in having fish eat my feet but figured any store with these spa chairs with your feet dangling in an aquarium in perfect view of every person walking along 5th Ave had to have wacky stuff... Turns out I was wrong... yeah, the fish pedicure is wacky but the rest of the shop had a decent selection of Mexican style (and kinda touristy) stuff such as handbags, clothing and jewelry (plus lots of other junk but not tacky enough for me to buy gifts for that "one friend"...

It would be very expensive to knit or crochet anything! They had basic colors, and no variegated yarns. I continue my search for an ideal yarn shop in Playa.
