Palomas, Mexico; Roaming The Pink Store

Day of the Dead isn’t the only thing celebrated at The Pink Store. And not everything here is on the kitschy side. Far from it. Most of the merchandise here is high-end.

Yes, the lighting fixtures you find here work on U.S. current, as Mexico and the U.S. share the same voltage and plug schemes:

This entire store is packed with so many finds that we always take at least two, and often three, trips around the aisles. We do this upon arrival, before lunch, and again after lunch before departing back to the U.S.

Need a wall fountain? The Pink Store has you covered:

But The Pink Store is more than just a store. It’s also a restaurant. On Friday I’ll show you what we and our guests had for lunch.
