Weird Little Rubbery Chicken: $10 pesos
One of the glories of Mexico is that anything you'll possibly need, or could never even conceive of a notion of needing, will find it's way to you with little or no effort on your part. You can sit in your house, and a guy carrying two 12-foot ladders will walk past. "Hey, buddy, need a ladder?" Or sit in your car at a light in Guadalajara, and you'll have the option of getting your windows washed, recharging the balance on your cell phone, buying communion wafer scraps for snacking, a bottle of water to wash them down, and maybe getting your hands on a mini-punching bag and gloves to get your 3 year-old off to a good start. Among other possibilities.
So it didn't surprise me even a little when, while sitting on the beach, a guy walks us to us with a rack of these totally bizarre little jiggly rubber chickens for sale. Not your typical rubber chicken, but his much smaller and squishier cousin. I'm thinking, "Of course! The only thing lacking from my current beach experience is some tiny poultry!" Except for, of course, my wallet, which was in the car.
Man, I feel bad for that guy that you didn't have your wallet. I can't imagine who else would buy those chickens at the beach! :)
