Last week when Larry went to Tepic he asked me if I wanted anything. I asked for a table lamp to use by the laptop so the bright light wouldn’t keep him awake at night.
Ron and Larry went to several stores to no avail, no lamp was to found. They didn’t go to Walmart. The Walmart here is not the same as we have at home.
As we were walking to the fish market I looked in a store and way in the back was some lamps. We went in to see what they had. The one I liked was one that came on when you touched it. It also had different levels of brightness. The only problem is they wanted 250 pesos for it. They had 3 more lamps but they wanted more for them. Larry offered them 200 pesos for the lamp but the person that could ok that wasn’t there so they said come back tomorrow.
We talked it over and decided to look for one at the Saturday Market before we went back.
Saturday we walked all the way to the end of the street (something we don’t always do). At one of the last vendors were 2 lamps. One was a table lamp and one was a floor lamp. They wanted 170 pesos for the table lamp, after doing some haggling Larry paid 130 pesos. I now have a table lamp.

This is how we use it, so that it’s not too bright for the person sleeping.
