Shopping at Chichen Itza

Get your souvenir shirts here!

For Sale: Traditional Mayan dress
The traditional Mayan dress - akin to the Philippine duster - or the ones worn at home when one is doing housework. I bought one - in green - in Cancun for my mother. Green is her color.

The ubiquitous sombrero. I figured if I wanted one I'd just eat at Chevy's, tell them it's my b/day and walk away with the b/day sombrero :)

This Satan-like carvings scared the bejeesus out of me. Would you take this home?

Vendors at Chichen Itza
Vendors selling masks inside the compound. There are also men in the process of carving the masks. I bought 2 or 3 masks that I haven't took out of their wrapping yet.

The Mayan calendar is also a good buy.

    The souvenirs there are so beautiful, Maria. I'd buy a Mayan calendar, for sure...but probably not the satan 'doll.' I can just see it sitting on someone's shelf!

    It's great seeing mexican women wearing traditional dresses all over the country but not so much at the Yucatan Peninsula... sadly.

    Those shifts look perfect for housework but they are so pretty that I wouldn't want to get them dirty.

    I just stumbled on your site because you have wonderful travel photos. How i wish i can also see the Chichen Itza. When reading your posts, i had the feeling that you were from the patch of earth i also am now, Philippines. Am i correct? It is just you are more privileged.
