A Little Less Than Whole Foods
This just in from Bill and Karen Vaccaro of the Chico-based Moody 44 Miela. While anchored at Tenacatita Bay, they went ashore and bought five canteloupes for $1.50 from a boy with a stand on a dirt road. Mind you, that’s $1.50 U.S. for all five, not for each one. How much is Whole Foods — or any store in the States — charging for canteloupes?
As for the fish they caught for ceviche, there was no charge. With the peso/dollar exchange rate now at a dazzling 14 to 1, Bill and Karen caution visitors to pay with pesos rather than dollars, as many establishments insist on giving only 10 pesos to the dollar.
