Sombrero and Pancho

Dave sent me an e-mail from work on Tuesday saying that he had to go in costume to a work dinner Friday night, could I possibly get him a sombrero and poncho?  Well, that would be very easy if I were living in San Diego or Yuma, but I wasn't sure how easy it would be here.  As luck would have it, costumes are extremely easy to find in Hong Kong and the best place to find them is a block away from where I go to CrossFit classes!  The CrossFit box I belong to is in the Central district of Hong Kong, about 45 min to an hour on the bus and the MTR.  One of the biggest tourist attractions in Central is "the lanes".  These are little alleyways filled with shops and vendors.  One particular lane, Pottinger Street, has a lot of costume shops.  I walked into the first shop and asked for a sombrero.  Sure enough, hidden back in the corner she had several and matching ponchos to boot!  Here are a few pictures of "the lanes":

And here is a picture of Dave's sombrero and poncho:)
