Beach Shopping

The first couple of days that we were here, the vendors descended upon us, wanting to sell clothes, blankets, jewelry, tamales, fish, etc. When they saw that we're the new kids on the block they swarmed like flies, arriving in minivans and trucks full of merchandise.

We picked out our favorite vendors and told the others we weren't interested in their wares - no need to return thank you. After checking out Mulege to get an idea of the best prices we could get, we were then ready to bargain with the beach vendors.


Adolfo had the best selection of clothes, blankets and jewelry, and he gave us prices better than anything we found in town. We bought blankets, t-shirts, bracelets, and beach dresses. His assistant made us custom eyeglass straps so we could hang our sunglasses around our necks. He also has a shop in town called 'How Many, What Color'.
