We took the car to Canela where I did a full day at a net cafe to get some urgent work done and Beth went on the bus to pick up our friend Joe from Porto Alegre who’ll be staying with us and helping us set up on the land. When they arrived we went to the car to head back to the land, and guess what! it wouldn’t start – absolutely nothing! the only way we can start it is by pushing it, and we didn’t want to risk going to the land at night with it in that condition. We managed to find a place that had a room that had just been painted and the women let all three of us stay in it for only R$50 so we’re in there now with the windows open. Tomorrow we’ll call Candido and ask if he knows any good mechanics here in Canela and take the car yet again to be fixed 🙁
