The blender and stove parts store

We needed a part for Beth's blender and I had planned a field fix that would have been less than ideal. Then I stumbled upon this shop in Xela. In Central America and most other "uncivilized"  places, instead of throwing things away when you break them, you fix them. That means that there are stores with parts for most things. This particular tienda had propane parts of all sorts and enough blender parts to build one from scratch. Not just parts for the high-end blenders either. Parts for our cheapo were here too. Getting this part in the US would have been much more difficult than strolling into a shop on your way to get coffee and internet.

Check out this fine selection of propane accessories! You can pretty much build or repair any kind of cooker, heater, burner, or fire art project that you want at this shop.

You can get all these parts online, of course, but nothing beats shopping for a replacement part with the old broken one in your hand.  Or being able to fudge various parts together to do that thing that you're not supposed to do and isn't in the book.
