Sweat-rags in Yucatan

Can't Post | Private Reply

I'm going to be visiting the Yucatan peninsula soon. I've never been there before, but I remember from visits to Panama City, Panama, that just about every third block you would find vendors selling little towels (about 8 x 12 inches). You could use the towel to line the inside of your shirt-collar or just drape it over your shoulder. Every once in a while, you use it to mop the sweat off your face. My question is--are there vendors selling these sweat-rags in Yucatan or will I have to pack my own?

I haven't seen those guys here for some time now. Furthermore if you are coming between now and March, you will be here in winter. In winter we wear jeans and bundle up the babies. The clothing stores sell heavy fabrics and boots. No matter that it is over 90 degrees outside, it is winter! There are many stores that sell colorful bandannas and you can have fun looking for them(There are some truly gruesome ones for Hanal Pixan{ Day of the Dead} We buy baby washcloths for superior brow mopping.
