Brazil Trip 2008

Greeting from Pikes Peak Rock Shop. I just got back from my buying trip to Brazil. We are working hard to provide you with new products. We are currently working on an updated pricing list which should be out by the end of October. Sorry, some prices will go up. We have been getting price increases from our suppliers for the past two years. We have been absorbing them but I can no longer afford to do this any longer. The trip went well, the first part below is pictures of places in Brazil and some of the places we buy from. In our next email which we plan on sending out in about 30 days we will include some pictures of new items. Sorry the new items won't get here until late November or early December. As soon as they arrive we will place them on the website. Keep your eyes out for them.
