Speedbump

Well last night we hit a bit of a snag. Our car overheated (probably the result of being 19 years old and driving it through windy gravel roads for 10 hours) and we had to add water 4 times just to make it to the next town. Fortunately the town we made it to is pretty big and full of car places. So we took it to a shop this morning and turns out we have a crack in our radiator. They couldn't fit us in today but we are first on the list for Monday. Major bummer. Plus they don't know yet how much damage there is, and we don't know if its worth fixing. Tomorrow morning we are taking a bus to Hot Water Beach so we can dig ourselves a jacuzzi and forget about it till Monday.

Sarah found out yesterday morning that her beloved dog, Josie the Boxer, had to be put to sleep. So needless to say we haven't had the best couple of days. We are trying to take the car stuff step by step and see what our options are. So say a prayer for Sarah & family and our little van!

I had an exciting post written on my laptop but I'm not on that right now, so I'll have to add it later. Sorry this post is such a bummer. I know things will get better but its just so frustrating right now.

We are staying at a pretty neat hostel today, its what I imagined all hostels are like (which hasn't been true) - like a big old sorority house or something. Now I'm going to make myself a cup of tea and try not to think about the car.
