American Movies & Mexican Audiences...

Last night Jen & I went to Cinemex in what I call the Home Depot Plaza (behind Home Depot at the west end of Coba) and saw The Campaign. It's funny enough, if you like Will Ferrell movies. At one point in the movie, Ferrell, who plays an infantile North Carolina fat boy-turned-Senator (think George W Bush before he found Jesus at age 40) and his naive gay opponent (think Richard Simmons' lamer brother) have some drinks together and Ferrell, in party mode, cries out, "We are going to Cancun...!!"

Cheap Night Out in Cancun

Just a quick post to illustrate how you can live in Cancun for a few dollars a day.


Jen & I went to the casino for brunch. Cost: 75 pesos each, which we won back with our free credits (as we often do).
 

Later we hit McDonald's for dinner. Tuesday is Big Mac day. Cost: 44 pesos each.


Then we saw the new Bond movie (Skyfall) tonight. Tuesday is 2-for-1 night at Cinemex. Cost: 25 pesos each.
 

We also stopped at Elite Cyclery to get my rear derailleur cable (and some cable housing) replaced. Cost 50 pesos.

So, to sum up, I fixed my bike & got dinner & a movie for about $10, 
roughly half what I would have paid for the repair alone at home...

Cancun.. I'm lovin' it.
