Knife sharpener man, or how how I was duped on a Sunday

This is the knife sharpener man. If you forgot this man in my former blog, this guy walks the streets and blows this loud, shrill whistle and people come out and he sharpens their knives. Here's the story-

1. I have missed him a jillion times.

2. I wanted to show you guys his manual way of doing this.

3. My knives wouldn't cut butter, so this was getting to be a need, not a want.

He sharpened my three knives. He let me take his picture. He was smiling because the STUPID gringa was in the RAIN, didn't ask him the PRICE, and had a tiny little pink camera! He thought "SCORE! A DUMB GRINGA!"

After he ground up my knives, he charged me 8000 pesos, which is about $16.00 dollars American. I could have bought new knives for that! What I do to amuse all of you!!!!
