Nazar Bobcugu Offered For Trade

On top of the school bus ride came another very unique offer to trade for Pamela. Ata Uysal of Ankara, Turkey offered a 'nazar boncugu', and for those of you who are a little slack in reading Turkish that is an amulet to protect against the evil eye. It's usually a series of concentric circles, dark blue in the center, than light blue or yellow, white, and dark blue again, as pictured.
What a beautiful piece, and you truly must check out the website. The website is as beautiful as the amulet. Who would have thought that evil eye amulets would have such an incredible website!

So to those of you who have been following this adventure, has there been anything offered that struck you, that you would have traded for in an instant?
The vintage Playboy?
Tony Llama Boots?
Knitted something or other?
Houston area bus ride for 30?
The evil eye amulet?

Was just wondering and wanting your opinions.

By the way, last night Macedonia came on as a new country to visit!

Be sure to vote in the "Last State To Visit" Poll to the right, it is ending this weekend.
