Shopping!!

Today Bob, Kim and I went out to the market again, as we are planning to leave Miami next weekend, making this the last opportunity we would have to go shopping there. I find this market amazing, as you can pretty much buy anything there. For instance today Bob bought an anchor and rope, I bought some fantastic leather walking boots - $30! They are insulated too, and I haven't seen anything under $150 for equivalents in Australia. I also bought a great daypack for $12, two leather belts for $2.50 each. I saw everything from mattresses, cooking pots and pans, stereos, of course clothes and jewellery, toys, motorbikes, tools, furniture. You name it, they had it for sale.

Virtually all the stall holders were Mexican or Cuban, and of course that adds an extra element of fun to the shopping! As I have said previously, virtually everyone is polite and courteous.

Going along with the large Spanish influence down here, most everything is printed in two languages. Even the large commercial signs like this!!



Next week we are going down to spend a night on Florida Keys - I'm really looking forward to that. Another exciting event for me will be the private trading lessons start in earnest. Nick will be watching us trade for 20 mins so he can get an insight into the beliefs we have that drive our trading. From there he can guide us as to which beliefs serve us, and which don't. Fantastic stuff.

Well we are going out on the boat tonight, and Bob is hooking it up right now. So I'd better go help - I'll be getting of photos to put up on the next entry here!!
