The Shopping Cart

One funny little thing about living in an apartment in Chile is the ‘shopping carts’. When we moved in to our first apartment, there was a stray shopping cart in the parking garage. Jeff wanted me to get it to put suit cases in. I was totally humiliated. I thought we looked like homeless people using a shopping cart to drag our stuff around in. He finally convinced me that that was what the shopping cart was there for. Of course he was right. All the apartments have a few shopping carts in the parking garage and even in the laundry area or other spots on the main floor. If you come home with a lot of things in your car, you go get the shopping cart and load it all into your cart. Then you take it into the elevator and up to your apartment to unload it. Then you take it back where you got it from. Well, you are supposed to take it back to where you got it from. Some people just put it in the elevator and push 1 for the main floor. They just figure who ever gets in next will have to get it out! I will post a picture of us using the shopping cart sometime.
