Public Hygiene in Cancun... Ewww!

Jen's been nursing a cold for more than a week & I've still got the cough I blogged about (here) more than a month ago. We expected to be sick more often here, and we have been, but we expected to encounter digestive issues, not respiratory infections. It's hard to believe...

At least it was until recently.

I won't go so far as to say that Mexicans are less hygienic than other North Americans (hey, my dad once saw a skanky woman drop her pants and urinate in a busy gas station parking lot in the middle of the day), but Jen & I have now seen a few things which help to explain how we keep getting sick.

La Parrilla Restaurant's Festival of Moles

This Wednesday, Jen checked her Facebook & spotted a 2-for-1 deal at our favorite restaurant in Cancun: La Parrilla. They have a Mexican buffet (150 pesos) on weekends & a seafood buffet (170 pesos) on Friday nights & the food is amaaaazing.

The Facebook coupon was a deal was for their "Festival of Moles," which is tastier than it sounds!
