Our friends over at No Place to Be recently asked us what the least used item in our backpack was. I think I answered that it was my Blackberry (haven’t turned the thing on since May 2009), but that was before we picked up the gem above.
Yep, it’s a plaster model of a section of Diyarbakir’s city wall. It is heavy, it crumbles when you touch it and it stains everything that comes into contact with it. It is also almost completely worthless. Since it was a gift, we felt we couldn’t throw it away.
If anyone wants to pay for the shipping, I’d be happy to re-gift it. Any takers?
UPDATE: I just re-gifted it to a family of Quebecois. They swore to pass it on to any worthy backpackers they meet. Godspeed, O Traveling Wall of Diyarbakir.
