Roberta: Ben told me that Lola lived in Latin America selling handcrafts 
Lola: True, a long time ago
Tom: Cool! So you were one of these hippies? 
Lola: Not really. For me it was just an adventure, for them it's a choice for life 
Lola: Also they never truly accepted me as one of them.
Lola: I was always a "gringa"
Tom: How long did you live like that?
Lola: About six months
Roberta: So you were selling handcrafts made by you?
Lola: Yes. I made them and sold them
Lola: It wasn't big money though
Lola: Just enough to survive a day
Lola: Pay for bed in a dorm and get something to eat
Lola: In a day I would make maybe 4-5 dollars
Lola: I paid 2 dollars for the bed and the rest was for food
Lola: But there were also days when I couldn't sell anything
Lola: Sometimes I had to sleep on the street
Lola: Often I was hungry 
Tom: That's really impressive, Lola
Tom: Maybe you could write a book about it
Lola: I wrote an article. It should still be somewhere online
