As Chuck mentioned, we found a super store and bought some of the last things we think we need.  I’ve been coveting a standing drying rack for awhile.  You can move it around with the sun and it just looks easier to use than a clothes line.  I found exactly what I wanted and that is now crammed into the bathroom/storage area.  We also found a really great bike basket which includes a bag with handles that fits perfectly inside for carrying with you.  Chuck will install that on my bike in one of his free moments.  The other necessity for me is a hair dryer.  I was searching for one that was 500 watts or less because that’s what Richard recommended so I wouldn’t blow out the electricity in the entire campground.  We couldn’t find anything less that 1500 watts anywhere.  I finally realized that all the campground bathrooms have electrical plugs so I can just dry my hair in there.  I just used my new 1600 watt Babyliss and love it.  Light, 3 settings, diffuser, who could ask for anything more at €14.99?
All this and some other items (the plastic containers to contain the tall items in the pantry—olive oil, vinegar, etc.) and the washing tub, came to €75.47.  We have to stop!  Besides the money, where does all this stuff go?  I can’t believe how much stuff we’ve pulled into this place but somehow, it’s all working and we’re really appreciating how we’ve set up Homer.  
New running total:  €26,513.98

First, I'm so bummed that we're already done with Belgium. Will we be back?
Second, I love the shopping expeditions. I love gadgets! No desire to live in an RV, but I love to shop for all the stuff that makes RV living better. What's fun about your shopping is that you have the one-year picture in mind; it's not like you can haul all of your purchases back to the U.S. So instead of buying the "hydro-sonic super washer 7000" and justifying the outrageous cost by talking about how it will last forever, you buy the bucket with a lid. That's great!
Kelly,
Glad you're enjoying it. We bought the turbo 100 model.
Claire and Chuck
