Weird things about chile...

There are some weird things about Chile, and I say that trying to account normal cultural differences.
One weird thing about chile is the playgrounds. There are the normal swings and slides, but there are also things that you'd expect to see from Dr Seuss. The googly-jazboodle, that oodles and doozles... Or something.
It doesn't stop with that though. It seems like Stephen King is also in charge of playgrounds.
Exhibit A: a wooden slide?
Who wants to slide down that????

Another weird thing
There are people selling almost anything on the street. People lay out a blanket and sell their trinkets. Trinkets could mean almost anything. Lipstick, knitting needles, noise makers, comic books, hair scrunchies, matches, forks, shoe glue, etc. all of it unpackaged in piles on a blanket. It's almost as if they took the stuff, unwrapped it, tried it out for a couple of days then decided that it was ready to go out to the market. The funniest thing to me was the selling of tape. They were the skinniest rolls of tape I had ever seen - "end-of-the-roll tape"!

PS. Also, a picture of Lori, evidence she is having a good time!
