This is the cutest little bikini/beach wear shop on Zicatela beach. There are tons of cute shops…read morebut this one is one of our favorites. They also have local jewelry, sunglasses all kinds of local arts & crafts & cool handmade/hand painted stuff. We dig it. My GF Robyn bought some very cool sunglasses & bikini here also.
For the ladies, they have some of the most unique bikinis. You can buy the tops & bottoms separate, which is what I prefer. This past trip I was on the hunt for the new halter top style bikini top. I found one as soon as I walked in the door. Love it when that happens.
Anyhoo, my hubby likes to shop as much as I do. He is a total clothing whore. So, he went straight to the men's side & came back with a couple shirts & a big smile on his face that read "total score" satisfied customer :) then he disappeared back to the back & I found him eyeing this hand wood carved traditional ceremonial mask hanging on the wall. It was red, had real goat horns, evil eyes & a giant tongue hanging out of it. So, naturally he fell in love with it.
The owner came over & we started chatting about the ceremonial masks & he told us all about them, that they were actually mask that were used in the traditional ceremony that they perform in Oaxaca during Easter. The owner is the coolest dude. Then hubby got a called & stepped outside.
I ended up wearing my halter top the entire trip. I loved it so much that at the end of my trip I decided to go back for another one. I bought 2 more & decided to get the mask for hubby as a gift.
As hubby was returning back to the states, I gave the mask to him & he wouldn't get on the plane with it! He thought it was too evil & was going to make his plane crash! Lol We weren't flying together so I had to carry it back stateside in my backpack for him.
So far no tragic events have occurred, neither one of our planes went down & we are both in good health so I don't think the mask is going to kill us. Now he wants me to get him another one. Lol
We will return! :))
