I think I paid around 100-150 usd for that floral arrangement.
I'm sure reading this part of the TR made you cringe. If I went to the trouble to mark a special occasion like that and have it ruined I'd be a little sore. My experience, however, gets nothing but high marks.

I asked my non-local driver about that on my way out of town. It is strange that no ride share or organized (legit) taxis are allowed in town. The signage everywhere evens warns you against using such services. Having to negotiate rates is a drag when your tired and fried from walking around all day.
