Friday was our last full day in Mexico! Unfortunately we had to all get our COVID tests but luckily we all passed ;). After that we all headed to the Playa Car Market (It's the market that is with in all the hotels gated community) and then a few of us went back to 5th avenue. While at the Playa Car Market we found one shop where the guy hand made all the bracelets, earrings and necklaces and sold them for a reasonable price and sense we actually saw him making them we decided to buy ours from him! It was pretty cool to watch him make them.
Once back on 5th avenue the girls asked to get their braids touched back up. We decided to start out at the other end of the market and for some reason Zach saw another stand and asked the lady if she would touch up their braids. She decided to completely redo them. Keagan was super nervous! But she promised it wouldn't hurt and she promised they would last 10 days! FYI they lasted 10 days and they didn't hurt ;). Seriously though we will never forget Evelynn with the bull tattoo, she was our person on our trip! Our bishop said we would meet one person on our trip that we would never forget and she was it! She had two daughters 12 and 5 and was a single mother working 6 days a week working on 5th avenue at this hair stand. Anyways, I can't explain what it was about her but she just had something about her, she was kind, genuine and funny and I'm so glad that for what ever reason God let our paths cross. Maybe it's because she lead me to the most amazing street tacos I've ever had lol!
After the girls finished their braids Zach and I decided to take the girls down by the ocean to look for sea shells. Matt, Heather and their kids came down too and Zach, Kabree, Matt and Justice decided to get in the water with all the seaweed. They didn't go in far because it was so bad and would just tangle up around their legs so bad! After that we finished the day off with the rest of the crew by the pool enjoying ice cream and slushy drinks!
