Stooped to a New Low

When we went to Progreso the last trip and bought a liter of Sol and shared it in order to save a few pesos I thought we had stooped to an all-time low. But, I made a discovery this morning that beats that one to heck. I walked in the bathroom and there was a little pile of four tissue squares lying on top of the roll of toilet paper. It seems that when Terry paid 2 pesos to go to the bathroom at the Progreso bus station he didn't need the toilet paper so he brought it home in his pocket. He placed it neatly on top of the roll of toilet paper that resembles an old-fashioned roll of adding machine tape - not very wide and very scratchy.

We're washing clothes today and getting ready to head out tomorrow on the 7:40 bus to Playa del Carmen, then take the ferry over to Cozumel and hang out for a few days. Will be meeting up with Ken and Lorraine on Saturday when they come into Cozumel on the Carnival cruise ship. Excited to see them!

  1. There are times I thank God I live in America. This would be one of them...the home of Charmin :-)

  2. HaHa! I can relate!! Somehow saving toilet paper in sunny Mexico seems better than re-using ziplock baggies in Austin. Hmph.
