This past weekend my mom came to visit. She lives in the Central Valley and uses me as her “excuse” to visit SLO. Since she was here on a Sunday, I took her to the swap meet. My mother has always been skeptical of the swap meet and is usually in shock when I send her pictures of the great things I find. We left my apartment at 5:55 am, grabbed a coffee from Pete’s, and we were there by 6:15 am. The swap meet was swamped! I had never seen so many people there that early. The vendors were being a little stingy. No one was wanting to bargain (reminder to the vendors: it is a swap meet). However, I did score a working lamp for $1.
