a table abacus and  a world globe they don’t need anymore.  I need them and thought I would throw it out there before I bought them new.  I’ll trade you something for them and pay for shipping.

Trying Craig’s List too.

Please somebody save me from myself!  I can’t help it, I love to think and dream about business, build little businesses, experiment and learn new things.  It is kind of a fatal flaw I think. I started working for myself when I was 11 babysitting and made my first $3 and it was all over.  I have only worked for someone else about 3 years of my adult life and the rest of the time, I have been working for myself. I should of gotten my college degree in business.

Anyway, there are tons of gorgeous pieces of handmade pure silver jewelry here for very reasonable prices.  Alpaca wool scarves and other items that people would love in the states.  Between eBay and Craig’s list, I think I could sell a few things for a little profit.  Maybe save up money for our next world adventure plane fare? I hear Chile is the number 2 country to start a business in.  Can you say Santiago people?

OK - somebody please talk me out of this.  If I only purchase things I love and would want in my own home, and then if they don’t sell I get to have them as my very own.  Well there isn’t any harm in trying is there?    Right?…..Buehler?…anyone?…..

A few times a man has come to our door asking for something.  Because I don’t understand him, I smile and wave and he goes on his way.  Yesterday, I figured it out, through the help of a Spanish speaking friend.

He is the recycle man! Oh Darn!  I have been throwing away dozens of plastic bottles (from our water) every week.  Now I know for next time.  Maybe that is why our Peruvian neighbors have so little trash.  I mean honestly, it was embarrassing last week.  Our neighbors set out one small bucket of trash and we set out 15 bags. They were the size of grocery bags and granted we had tons of guests last week, but still. Yowzah!
