Bonjour,
We had quite an adventure today. We took Lenell to buy a vehicle.
First, she had to trade money. Then, we went to get the vehicle. After
we got it, we went to turn the paperwork in to get the title in her
name. The children and I were riding with Lenell since she had air
conditioning. We were on our way to a restaurant. The vehicle died
right in the middle of a major intersection. We called Joe. He got
some guys to help him push the vehicle. It had run out of gas. We
ate. Then, Joe and Dan went to get fuel. The kids played at the play
place while we waited.
Then, we went to get oil and filters. From there, we went to the Toyota
dealer to get a timing belt. On our way to the insurance place, the car
died again. This time, it had overheated. Joe thinks it might have
been from running out of fuel and the fuel filter being totally stopped
up. We went straight to the mechanic. Lenell brought us home in our
vehicle and then took the vehicle back to Joe. He stayed while they
replaced all of the filters and fluids. The primer pump is broken; that
will have to be replaced before they can start the vehicle. It takes a
while to get the kinks worked out when you buy a vehicle in Africa.
