Name of Shop: on the street...
What To Buy: why not a CD (even if I expected I would have regreted it as when not in that atmosphere any more but...) of that music you have heard all afternoon long during the parade of the last day of the Carnival by the Grupo Explosion... I had already got a couple of postcards with the whole group as they had noticed me taking them pics and after I bought the CD, they ran after me for a "regalito", as they called it, their calendar, I found it sweet...
What To Pay: lots of things here are cheaper maybe thanks to the good exchange with US dollar but not the CDs, whether you buy it on the street or in a shop, they cost the usual price you pay for them here in italy...

I've just read a book about South America and it became very real to me. And now I have read your page it seems even realer. More real? |
