101. Buy a nice lapis lazuli cross and wear it on a necklace

On one of my last days in Chile, I went after the lapis lazuli cross that I was looking for. I ended up buying another one than I had in mind, because of the ridiculous price of the one I had seen some time before on the airport. I mean, nobody pays 400 euros for a tiny silver item - much less in Chile. So I settled for this one. In the end, it's all about symbolism. Lapis lazuli is a typically Chilean blue stone. And I wanted the cross as a symbol for my coming to faith during that period. The necklace is actually my mother's. I've been wearing it every day for the last few months.
