Cheap Charlies is literally just a small bar front filled with tons of little knick knacks that can keep your mind entertained by just looking at them.

…If you like Indian, make sure you come here and when you are done with your meal, order a shisha and enjoy some people watching at Cheap Charlies across the way.

Last night Scott and I did some shopping for supplies needed for Shambhala. Things like headlamps, carabiners, new bulb for the lantern and we got an L.E.D upgrade for our mini maglite!
