Depends where I am at Gopher.
In Las Palmas, we rented a car and drove around the outside to some of the bigger cities, then drove inland along a route that took us past some really neat church's. I bought some towels, coffee mugs, bracelets and other small stuff with the names of the island and some towns there.
In africa if I get a chance, I will buy small carvings and such that I can give away or keep if they tickle my fancy. I have this habit of buying masks and paintings as well. I have about 20 paintings from various places around africa.
I try to get things that have meaning to the places where they are from, but sometimes, its all teh same junk in the different african countries.
I also tend to keep some bottle caps and labels from beer that I have had in some of the places. I can never seem to put them all in the same place when Im at home so theres lots all over. SS likes this organizational skill of mine.
