Picked up laundry and a chicken(pollo) dinner this morning, if you call 11:30 still morning. Exhausted, time for a siesta! A person can get a whole roasted chicken with potatoes(papas), rice, tortillas and red sauce(rojo salsa) for about $5.50. This can easily feed three adults or in my case, at least 4 meals using the tortillas. Easily. So is Mexico expensive, as some of you have asked? Not if you know what’s good in the area you’re visiting. Chicken, fish, and shrimp are the three big items for Sayulita, and they are cheap. (see photo of my pollo meal)
Laundry is another thing that might spoil a person. A full week’s worth of laundry cost about $5.00. You might argue that you can do that in the states for about the same price. However, down here, you drop it off, they wash it, they dry it, they fold it nicely, and all you do is pick it up the next day. Spoiled? That’s one reason I come here. Now for that siesta….
