Ciao, Argentina! Nos vemos!

It's been an interesting week.  We were planning to leave this week, but that all changed when this happened.

Ouch!  Catastrophe!

Everything seemed to go wrong, and our exit date was postponed.  Indefinitely.  That'll teach you to have expectations, right?  We took the news rather hard, considering we're tired and in need of some down time!  But, what do you do.  

Pray, I guess.  And God answered!  Actually, He's worked quite a bit out--all glory to Him!  And now we're headed home, just a day later than originally planned! Wonderful!

That said, this last day has provided a few more hiccups since it rained almost all night and our little rental car won't make it to the field on all the muddy roads.  We do have quite a bit to get done before our flight out tonight.  So...we'll keep those prayers going!  God's done it before.  He can get us through challenges again.  He's faithful and good like that.

Meanwhile, I'll fill you in on the last few days.

 It's been beautiful weather!

Many a gorgeous fall morning just like this one!

Because of the catastrophe pictured above, we had to make a trip to a city about 4 hours away to get some replacement parts.  It was a whirlwind trip.  Drive 4 hours, arrive about 1 am, grab a few hours sleep, off to the part store early the next morning, drive 4 hours back.  My mind was spinning.  

Funny story.  After smooth sailing getting the stuff we needed, we went to hop in the car and noticed our tire was almost flat.  Not good.  So, we were pointed in the direction of a gomería where they patched up the tire in no time. 

Experts!

 This was the problem.  

This little stinker screwed up our tire pretty good.

(Pun intended)

Anyway, that's all for now!  We are very much looking forward to a long weekend at the Beach Cottage!  It's time to leave the lovely fall weather and trade it in for SoCal spring!  Just till Tuesday.  Then we're New Zealand bound!
