(With one month left of our adventure, we are starting to think about packing to come home, and are selling some of our less-treasured Chilean aquisitions).

FOR SALE:
Hyundai Santamo: Minivan-esque, seats 6 Americans or 8 Chileans. Minor scratch on side due to concrete "attack post" in the Jumbo parking lot. MPG unknown as owner can’t make the gallon/liter and mi/km conversion at the same time. Comes with emergency sustenance stored between the seats and radio that plays only 1980’s American music.

Iron: Makes excellent door stop, clothes dryer, hair straightener or Panini press. Comes with ironing board which doubles as extra counter space, buffet table, ballet bar, or diving board.

Hair Dryer: Used mostly for blowing dust bunnies out of sight and warming dinner. While operating, need to hold unit in one hand and plug in socket with the other, leaving no free hand for, oh, say, a brush. Interested parties are advised to act fast before I hurl it off the balcony.

Bunk Beds: Great for adhering stickers to the ceiling and Barbie suicides. Warning: slats tend to break under stress requiring top bunk occupant to be bajapeso (lightweight) or bottom bunkmate may have midnight visitor.

Unused Spanish Vocabulary Books: Good intentions included.

Pilates Video: Unopened.
Yoga Book: Unread.
Weights: Unused.
Exercise Band: Unstretched.

Bathroom Scale: 50% discount as it seems to go only in one direction.

Wanted to trade: Wonderful Chilean experience for my “real” life. Comes complete with friends that we don’t want to leave behind, viajes (travels) that will not be forgotten, and a small piece of my heart. Available in approximately 30 days.
