Mexico trip, a visit to an artisan market. Responsible as I am, I do check the peso to euro exchange rate and marvel at how CHEAP everything is. I buy so many souvenirs and then notice — hm, the purse is empty. And I had exchanged 200 euros just that morning.
And then I got it. It was the wrong peso in Google. Philippine peso, not Mexican peso. So these gorgeous earrings were not 8 euros, they were 50 euros. This hand-embroidered handkerchief was NOT 5 euros. And so on…
Oh well. But I do wear the earrings.
