I’ve had pretty much this day exactly. I never thought the sentence “I love the blank at TGIF’s” would ever come out of my mouth. strange things happen when you live in Mexico.

Wayne: Count on it!

Teresa: Yes, I’ve heard the Merida Blue Store is 3X bigger and better than the one in Cancun. I dunno if I can take it…I was so overwhelmed. I felt all panicky like I get at Ikea. Sara got a headache.

Joyce: See, and now I’d kill just to go to Target, so you’ve got that going for you.

Jonna: Yeah, I know, right? What was once crap when we were spoiled is now like treasure.

Susie: Ok…anytime. When do you want to go? We have to let Wayne know so he can meet us. No need to eat at Hooters…does anyone know if there’s a Chili’s restaurant?

I wanna go to Blue Store! Heather, will you take me? Or let me take you?

I will pass on the Hooters visit though.

I was coming on here to tell you we have a Blue Store in Merida too but Theresa beat me to it. & yes the Italian kitchen store across the street is heavenly. But, back to the Blue Store, it reminded me of the first Cost Plus in San Francisco back when it was funky or any of dozens of unnamed stores in Chinatown. Funny how all that stuff I thought of as cheap sh-t back in the US costs so much here and I like it a lot better.

Up here in the land of I-can-pretty-much-get-whatever-I-want-whenever-I-want-provided-I-have-the-right-motivation, I STILL kind of miss Big Blue. I lived a block away, and purchased many a birthday present there. I also have lots of pictures of the devestation that Wilma wrought on BB, and will always remember those chairs, sort of dangling from what was left of the rafters…

We have one in Merida! (not the Hooters, but a Galaria Triumfo). They sometimes have a 30% off the entire store sale, but never when I need (okay, want) something from there.I buy earrings there, when they are marked down. Don’t ever buy anything with internal parts there, like a coffee grinder or clock. It’s guaranteed not to work.Across the street is a genuine Italian import Cooking and Restaurant Supply store. They have stuff that I salivate after.
regards,
Theresa

You best be giving me a shout out next time you intend to head to the Blue Store. I have no idea of how to find it. But I know where Paseo Cancun and Plaza las Americas is.

Eric, Heather is correct, it’s Paseo Cancun, no Hooters at Plaza Las Americas. At least not yet.

Heather, The Blue Store it is and forevuh shall be! I am super close to both Paseo Cancun and the Blue Store, 10 minutes walking (15 in the heat if I am dragging my ass and Max).

Love the rollor skates on the hooters girls. I’m going to have to look for “the blue store” next time I’m in Cancun. (Thursday)
