Day 275 - Hualhuas Weaver Village

We continued visiting more weavers today and were able to barter with things that we no longer needed. Our tape recorder, radio, and alarm clock went for a beautiful rug and wall hanging.

The word spread quickly that we had items to trade. We bartered the adjustable wrench, old shirts, and a kitchen knife at the next weaver for a stunning “Tumi” wall hanging.

The mechanic at the gas station was interested in our grip vise, which we traded for a tank of fuel. We were happy to be so successful and proud of the treasures we acquired.

In the afternoon, we drove to Huancayo, where we bought fresh fruits and splurged on our favorite fruit juices. Then we found a suitable place to stay for the night. Tomorrow we plan to visit the Indio market here.
