Shop 'Til You Drop
Our first-ever La Onda shopping roundup—locally found treasures, handmade favorites and a few irresistible splurges
“When in doubt—shop”. I’m not sure where I heard that for the first time but, to me, it always works. If you’re depressed, bored or have just a general mal d’esprit—shop. Some call it, “retail therapy”. Then there’s the shop-while-traveling. That's a variation. It requires shopping and eating, my two favorite things to do while exploring the world. It’s a way to bond with a place, to dig into what’s there, what’s unique, what’s different from your own. It’s treasure hunting. The more different, the better. And when you find that special thing, it’s forever a memory of your trip. There are many treasures to be had here in Troncones, and it’s amazing fun searching for them and finding them. This set of treasures is things to wear—hats, blouses, pants, shoes—and some tiny jewels—bags, medals, sunglasses, kaftans. Next time, I plan to come back with more fashion, gifts to give here or back at home, and things for your house, wherever you live.
