The peanut man! The peanut man!


Our neighborhood doesn't have an ice cream man but we do have the peanut man! He walks around with his little car that looks like a train and then he pulls a string and it sounds like a loud train whistle, complete with steam! We didn't know what to make of him at first because we didn't see anyone buy anything for a while. He just looked like a man who walked around blowing a very loud whistle with a lot of steam. Then! One evening, we were walking down to our little store and he blew the whistle. This time two kids sprinted out from their house, hands full of coins, and smiles all around. They gave the man some money and he pulled out these little bags from his train. We finally got up the nerve to order some of whatever was inside of those bags. We ordered 6 bags for 500 pesos or 6 bags for a dollar. Roasted peanuts! Yum!

  1. Saw your Mom and Dad and Mitsy and Neil this evening. Your Dad has been unable to comment on your blog. I told him I had done it but forgot the details, so came to the blog to figure it out
    By the way, your blog is magnificent.

  2. It's okay, I've been called worse. Often! And usually by my own kids!
